full- 4:25:09
   total: 7:28:42

my updated current 2011 race times:
5k- 23:37 (took off 53 seconds)
10k- 51:06
1/2- 1:52:18
full- 4:18:03
   total: 7:25:04

current leader: DANIELLE. by 3 minutes 38 seconds.

  
jeri is running the philly marathon in 2 weeks and has a good chance to pull out ahead of me. to take the lead she needs a 4:21:30 or better (i think i did that math right...). im praying for strong head winds and maybe some snow... :) i have a half marathon sunday which i could maybe take off another minute or so, but thats pretty much the last chance i have (with only 2 more 5k's on my schedule). regardless this has been an awesome challenge and im excited to see how it ends up!

so whos up for a challenge next year? :)
