Great race--

Daniel and I ran the Scope it Out for Colon Cancer 5k today in Lecanto. It was a very well put together race. There 300 people there, walkers and runners. Great food afterwards and plenty of water. The course ran around the buildings out at the Lecanto school complex. Some slight hills, just enough to make me scream.

I didn't take my camera. Dummy....

Anyway, Daniel beat his time with a 19:29 which gave him first in his age group and 6th overall. That's amazing. I also beat my time with a 21:49 for 1st place in my old lady group. I was the 4th overall female to cross the line, which I was thrilled about. But what I was most excited about was passing up an old friend just for a second but then she passed me up a second later. I've been chasing her for a few years! Well, this was the closest I've come anyway!

Time for a nap!

Still putting one foot in front of the other...

Well, I guess I'm just too busy running to blog about running...
I've been running about 20 miles a week lately. I've been trying to us a Spring Training Schedule by Hal Higdon which would have me running up to 30 miles per week with an 8 mile long run on the weekend. I can't seem to get beyond the 20!! Something always gets in the way! Life, kids, school...oh well. What can ya do? This is why there's a bunch of 60 year olds out there running marathons! Their kids are all grown and gone and they have the time!
So, I'll be running a 5k next Saturday in Lecanto. That's the plan. Trying to beat 22:23!
