April 27
Weather: Beautiful crisp, sunny spring morning
Goal: Run under 36:00 (the time of my last 5K 3 years prior)
Result: 31:17 (WOW!)
Fans: Mike, my husband, and Sami, my 16-year-old daughter. They were very encouraging and were instrumental in helping me set my goal
Review: A great race; ran just behind an 8 year old boy who would run than walk. Every time he thought I was going to pass him he would race up ahead. This was wonderfully fun and kept me on pace!
Ugh moment: What was I thinking wearing all black? After seeing the pictures I promised myself I would be more colorful at the races!
