Karen made her running debut on Sunday, completing the Columbus 10K in 56:49, placing 15th in her age-group and 345th overall (results). She ran 9:10/mile pace and ran negative splits, with her 1st 5K in 28:55 and 2nd in 28:16. It looks like there was a fun-run involved for Brianna also!
“I ran my first race today! I felt good through it and finished in 56:49, which isn’t breaking any land speed records but I am totally happy with it. Now I just need to add 20 more miles to this and I will be ready for October. Gah!”
Go Karen!






Wow! I’m impressed. Looks like you’re right on schedule – keep up the good work.
You go!
So proud of you and Brianna. She did her run without the green machine!
Congratulations, Karen and Brianna! You both look great.
You Go Girls!
You look fabulous and that is an amazing time! Go Jazzer-girl/woman….
Congrats Karen!
Brianna lined up with her green machine, but jettisoned it before the start and RAN the fun run! Go Karen and go Brianna!!
Great job Karen and Brianna! I’m very impressed!
