Race Report from May 7 & 8

Shawn Bagley finished his first marathon at the New River Marathon. He finished in 30th place with a time of 3:38. Congrats man!

The following is a race report from Ambassador (Lynn) Rapp:
"A good time was had by all at the Ramble Run. I ran the 5K with my Mission Hospital beginners. I traded my Foot Rx logo for a Mission Possible tech shirt at the last minute. (The prison jumpsuit orange was more visible.) I'm not sure how many did the race, but they all finished, and I believe the last one came in around 45 minutes. One overachiever did the 12K, two are Warrior Dashing next week, and a couple are planning for Cooper River. I am so proud of them!"

Also in the Ramble 12k was Jeff Carnivale who finished in 54:02, 41st overall and 7th in his age group. Keelin Schneider finished in an awesome time of 49:54. Melissa McCulloch finished in 1:16. Lynn Ray finished in 1:14. Greg Walker finished in 1:02:53.

Ali Moore sent in the following race report:
"I forgot to let you know that I participated in the USMC Mud Run down in Columbia, SC several weeks ago. Our team of 4 girls, the Dirty Blondes, came in at 1:54:10. Not too bad for 5 miles and 34 obstacles. Our time would have been better but we got caught up on the course during a thunderstorm and had a 15 minute delay that wasn't factored into our time. I'm hoping to do it again in the fall. Great fun and I highly recommend it!"

Race Report from Boston Marathon

Kim Sweetland sent in the following report from the Boston Marathon:
"I ran Boston on Monday in 3:36:10, side by side with Kristi Pratt. A nice easy pace to nurse my injury, which did fine. Will go for a PR in the fall, I guess, but I did have a great time.
Got a few "Go Asheville!" comments."

Good job Kim!
