Running Update #19

Posted at 03:58 PM on June 02, 2009

I ran my second official 5k this past weekend: Tommy's Run for a Reason to benefit the Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood disease. It was the first annual race, so there weren't many competitive runners. So, guess what? I actually crackd the Top Ten! I had a personal record of 26 minutes 32 seconds and placed 9th overall in the women runners. I know the race wasn't competitive but it was nice to be in the front of the pack and feel the exhiliration of actually racing instead of just trying to finish.
