This is my finish. Looks who's behind me? I have proof.
About Me
- Renee High
- I grew up in Franklin, Kentucky. I moved to Virginia Beach in 2003 and in 2004 I met the gang at Final Kick. Final Kick quickly became my home away from home. I ran my first marathon in 2005 (Shamrock Marathon). It was one of the most painful and amazing experiences of my life. I ran a 3:07 and I crossed the finish line with bloody heels (the right socks are so important). I couldn't wait to run another marathon and I choose The Richmond Marathon. I loved this race and it's still one of my favorites. Shamrock 2006 was my breakout race. I won it in a time of 2:45:40 and I was ecstatic. I also qualified for the trials with this race. Over the next couple of years I graduated from Nursing school and then eventually received my Master's in Exercise Science. In 2010 I raced the Chicago Marathon in a time of 2:45:26 and again qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials. This was an amazing day for me. And I can't wait to race in Houston 2012

Renee, You've been motivating my training partner and I on all the Striders Distance Series runs and we missed you on the last one. I guess I'll forgive you if you had to go and race Lance Armstrong! Nice Job. I have to admit it does hurt a little when you pass us.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brandon. It was a great time. I do recommend running the Austin Half even if it's just for fun. Austin is a great city.
ReplyDeleteMy wife stated that she thought it was great that Lance did not take from your second place finish; she also stated that you were the favorite to win. They were fumbling around looking for the name of the gal that won. I thought I would pass that on to you.
