I had pretty much figured that from now on I was going to be running distances further than 5K to challenge myself. But this 5K was to raise funds for my son's school to get technology into their classrooms. As a former technology specialist in a school....and a mom....how could I not run this race? Loved it! It was a great course (and pretty cool b/c it is in the neighborhood near where I used to live when I was training for the Ragnar last fall and I ran a whole lot of that course during my training) and a great weather day! And the VERY best part of this race was that not only was my good friend Sue running this race too (she also did the 8K with me at the beach) BUT my parents and my sweet boys were there to cheer me on at the start and the finish. There is no feeling like that. Loved having my sweet boys see me enter the finish shoot and couldn't wait to high five and hug me. Color me a happy momma!
Here's the nitty gritty details of how I finished:
Total time = 32 min 32 sec
Place = 165/323 runners overall; 11/25 female runners age 35-39 (eep I
creeped up an age bracket).
