A
few people have asked how the race went - I totally forgot to send out
an update, so sorry. The race was May 10th and the rainy morning started
out with the children's run at 8am (photos above, Andrew is #52 in the
group shot). He was a good sport about it. Despite the rain, and
despite being youngest in his group, he stayed at the middle of the
pack. The race officials were kind enough to give
all the kids medals and he wore them for days afterwards. Now and again
he will ask me if we can go on a practice run for his next race which
warms my heart.
My
race followed, and was happy that the rain stopped just as I began. The
entire second mile was a steep uphill, which I somehow didn't recall
from last years race, and it really kicked my butt. I didn't have high
hopes for finishing quickly as a result. But somehow I knocked off a
minute off my time! A new personal best which I'm really happy about.
It
was great to have Shawn and Andrew cheer for me at the start and finish
lines. Anyone want to run with me next year? No need to fundraise if
that's not your thing - its open to the public. Let me know - a few of
you have mentioned it.
