She won her 13th in 1:10. The girl can run. Her pedigree is underwhelming. Amazing girl.

Have'nt seen the P.P.'s, but I think I only remember getting a notification for one workout prior to this race... Surely she has had more than one... Anyone know?

Whichever, I'm rooting for her to win . Go Pepper!!

What a tremendous accomplishment. Reminds me of my pee wee soccer team that went undefeated. We were the talk of the town...


























well not really. Didn't stop us from thinking we were.

I know what you mean. Pepper's Pride reminds me of the 8th grade basketball team I played on back in 1990.
We finished the season 14-1, for a wining percentage of .933.
Then in 1996, the Chicago Bulls went 72-10 for a winning% of .878.

Despite the fact that our winning percentage was clearly better, people kept going on and on about how the '96 Bulls might be the best basketball team ever! What gives?

your 8th grade team probably would have ran circles around Jordan and those scrubs, just like Peppers Pride would do to Curlin.

granted she's not running against world beaters, but to show up and run everytime at any level without a hiccup is pretty amazing.
