In January I blogged about my New Years "goal" of taking care of myself and training to run my first race. After 5 months of working out and running 3-4 times a week...
I DID IT!!!!
(I should say "we" did it)
My mom, Shalene and I ran the Stillwater 12k (7.2 miles) on Sunday! I loved it! We ran the entire race without stopping and crossed the finish line at 1 hour and 10 minutes (9.41 minute miles). The hilly course didn't slow us down at all. I'm now officially addicted to racing and can't wait to run another one. Maybe we can find a 10-mile run, and then we'll go for the 1/2 marathon.
My official results were: 9.41min/mile, OVERALL placed 257 out of 591 people, of all WOMEN racers I placed 126 out of 368 women, and I placed 31 out of 86 women in my age group (30-34yrs).
Very cool!
