What a gorgeous morning for a race! It was nice and cool and about 250 people came out in support of Jessie's Place again this year. I think this is my favorite race in Citrus County. Maybe because it's 5 minutes from my house right there at the courthouse and there are real bathrooms available. I like that. I just love the whole small town feel around the courthouse, seeing all the familiar faces-young and old alike.
I wasn't really sure how it would turn out for me today but I was pleased. I did get my best time at 21:35 and I did get1st place in my age group. I was the 6th female overall, but most importantly I finally caught up to a friend of mine who I've been chasing for a few years! We had a good laugh about it. She knows it's been a big goal of mine to pass her up but I won't get used to it. She said now she's really going to train. Another tidbit...she ran 4 miles before showing up for the race this morning....ugh. So did I really beat her?!?!
I wish I had some pictures to post of the races but it seems so vain to ask someone to take my picture! Oh well.
Congratulations to Tina for beating her time and getting 2nd place in her age group!! Hooraa!
While I was at the Sheriff race, Daniel was running at his Cross Country Meet. He got his best time as well: 18:54! That's crazy! He ran for the varsity team today and I think that made him go faster! You rock, Dan!
