I have been on the cusp of an award a few times, so decided to look for smaller races, and today was my lucky day! 5k with 1,000 participants, and my 23:21 was good enough for first in my age group! It was also a 75 second PR, so yay! I've never placed at all, so it was a hoot to get first. A couple serious running clubs turned up today, but luckily the fastest of these ladies are in the AG just below mine.
Sorry no pics, but I'd told MH to stay home with DS because it's 45 min away, and I was too shy to ask a stranger for a pic.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
Never be too shy to ask a stranger for a pic! I do it all the time. They will be happy to take it!
Thanks, sadle! I need to remember that. I'm always happy to help a stranger. There was a lady from one of my run groups there, but I didn't see her again after I finally accepted that I'd won.
