What a great day! It rained the day before and later that day and poured the day after...but the few hours of the race? Wonderful, slightly-overcast and just perfect running weather.
It was a slow race for me this time. The gun went off for the 12K people, then 5 minutes later we 8K people were off and before I could even reach the turn-around the fast-paced 5K runners zoomed on past me! It was wonderful...no really. I really enjoyed watching all the runners (I could tell because of the different bib colors) running.
I finished the 8K in 1:05. Yes, just over an hour. I was fairly happy about that to tell ya' the truth! Pictures will be posted soon!
I know I will be running 5 miles for a while. It will be to quicken my pace and get it as close to 55 minutes as possible.
Huge goal.
I know I can do it, it will be hard, but ohhhh, it will be so worth it!
Side note:
Having a cyst removed from my wrist in a few days. Will not be out running for a week (I think). So, I was unable to run because of my toe a few weeks ago, now the cyst...these things come in threes...what next? Dare I even ask?
