holy cross 5k.


hooray for small races! today i ran in a 5k for a local church......my first 5k since April, so it seemed short!!! anyway, it was a good day for a race, the weather was sunny yet cool. i was actually shivering as i walked up to the church! it was my best race to date! i had a personal record and won first place in my age group! i definitely had to push it thru this race, but am quite proud! time.....25:30........nearly 3 minutes off my previous best time! i never thought i'd be that fast. yay for me! thanks for coming mom, dad, aunt linda, and cousin marla....and annie the dog!!!
