First in My First 10k!!

We had beautiful cool weather Saturday morning for the Mistletoe Trot 10k on Saturday in Leesburg. It was great fun and I'm so glad I tried it. Two gals and I went together to cheer each other on and we all placed in our own age groups. Congrats Kerri and Connie! Jacqueline, wish you were there!! You would've placed also!! There were over 200 people there to run the 5k or the 10k. The course was totally flat and went around a huge lake. Rain threatened just a bit and it was a little foggy but the temperature was perfect for a run.
Well, I was pleased with the outcome! JB, you put it in my head that I could pull it off in 50 minutes so I listened and made it in 50:46! That was 1st in my age group and 5th overall female out of 47, I'll take it.
I do believe I like this distance! Citrus county doesn't have any 10k races, we'll have to fix that.
Actually got a key chain medal this time. It's cute and useful!

  1. Awesome job Mare. Mark your calendar for the Epcot run in May. Only a 5K though.
