Ran the 5K today with Laura and Mrs. Bova yesterday. I really had a lot of fun. I even got to see an old Cross Country team mate, Rachel N (who came in 2nd place for females!!). :-) The race was a little chaotic, which was expected since it has only been run 2 or 3 times. There was a spaghetti dinner afterward which was even more poorly executed, but the food was GREAT!!
I ran a little slower than I wanted to, but can't complain too much. My goal was to run it in under 22 minutes. My time was about 22:17. I will post the actual results when they are put online. It felt good and I did come in 3rd in my age group, winning a medal. I am really excited to hang it in my classroom next year to show off to my students. They always get a kick out of those kinds of things, and I love watching their brains explode when I tell them I didn't have to stop and walk. :-)
The best part of the race was the cheering section at the end (Mom, Dad, Rowan, Gavin, Shaun, Joey, and Rachel). The boys were soooo much fun and we all yelled for Mrs. Bova and Laura as they finished too.
Are we making plans for a road race next summer???? Or maybe the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving?? Jaime, we need to get you in on this as soon as the boot comes off!!
