It feels like so much time has passed since my last post. Wow. Yesterday and today have been great. Last night was my 20th class reunion. It was so great to see everyone and hear what they have been doing for the past 20 years.
Today I ran in the Hammer Run - I could choose either the 5K or the 5 mile. I opted for the 5 mile. I made this decision a few weeks ago. After talking to Melanie and finding out that only eleven runners would be running the 5 mile, I felt very intimidated. Finishing last is not fun. I really was considering just doing the 5K.
On Friday I decided that is would be just another run. I run 5 miles every other day. I would just run and have fun, last or not. Long story short - I finished last. I finished last with my own personal best. I don't remember the exact time - 52 minutes and change. I averaged around 10:00 for the first 3 miles and then just over eleven minutes. I was very excited. It was a great run, good hill at the first then down hill, then level.
Thanks to Melanie and everyone else for organizing such a great race! Angela, thanks for starting with me - it was great to see you. Melanie - is there any way to get my exact time? Thank you so much! It was so good to see you!
