Jon Miller ran the Ocean City Half Marathon, finishing 10th overall and running an eye-popping 6+ minute lifetime best! It was Jon's first trip under 1:30 for the distance, and it made me think he's been sandbagging in an effort to win Most Improved later this year, because he ran 1:23:58. Unreal. As a result, Jon earned this week's Purple Drink Athlete of the Week.
Out in Louisville, Dave Ploskonka and Jackie Range paced the 3:10 and 3:30 groups, respectively, to perfection. Dave came in at 3:09:16 and Jackie ran 3:29:17.
Matt Franco earned his first win of the year down in Curtis Bay, aka Cherrypick City. Franco ran 17:14 for the win at the Nate Bruckenthal Memorial 5k. His prize? 4 "prime" tickets to Medieval Times and some $ for Mission BBQ - that's a nice haul!
At the inaugural Newport 10 Miler in Rhode Island, Lee DiPietro took 6th among the women, running 1:07:55. And down in DC, Amy Flashenberg rocked the Nike Women's Half Marathon, coming in at 1:45:51 (huge new PR!). Shout to Conrad for the support out there.
I was quite surprised to see Megan DiGregorio lacing up her shoes for a race again so quick after Boston, and I was even more surprised that this was a 50k trail race! Meg D got the win and finished 3rd overall at the Ironmaster's 50k. Her time of 5:31:45 put her less than 30 seconds out of 2nd place!
Then of course there was the Blue Jay 5k up at Hopkins. It was a beautiful morning at Homewood, and despite the 45 turns on the undulating course, Tim Burns ran a season best 17:03 for 2nd place, and Tom Stack came in at 7th in 17:36. For the ladies, Liz Laseter was 2nd in 18:35 and Jen Sheely, also just coming off her Boston race, ran a season best 21:46 for 4th.
Today is also the two year anniversary of WE GOT HIM.
