Well...not my best time, but 23:21 is about all I could handle last Saturday at the Jingle Bell 5k. Last year there was a bit of a chill in the air and long sleeves were the fashion, but this year it must have been 85. The sun was in full force and it made for a very tough run. The slight hills grew to Everest proportions and it was such sweet relief to cross the line and just plop. I wasn't thrilled with my time but it was good enough to take 1st in my age group. I was more pleased with my place overall: 5th female to come in. Two of the gals in front of me are moving targets that I fear I may never catch.
Dan and I ran this year while the boys enjoyed the parade afterward with some friends. We caught up with them during the parade and enjoyed the same ol' show that we've had since I've been here(16 years now)
This Saturday I plan to run my first 10k in Leesburg. Not too sure what's going to happen there!
