Okay, okay, 1st place in my age bracket (though I beat all the women in the ages above and below me as well). The time? Not so great. 24:03, but I did have to swerve, shimmy, and wiggle around a whole lot of folks who shouldn't have started anywhere near the front. Mary came in 4th among 10-14 year olds (which seemed to be a very competitive age) with 29:00.
Our next race will be in 2 weeks, the girls will be running a 3K, while I'm in the 8K. Good thing it has finally gotten cooler here in Virginia, earlier this week I was walking and wheezing due to 80+ degree temps plus 99% humidity. This morning we were hopping around before the start and definitely ran faster just to make own own heat.

It could be worse, they could be trying to eat each other.

Good job, Kat! My next race is a 5k run over a bridge with a 6% grade (1 mile up and 1 mile down if you include the leading roads). I will be happy to do a 40 minute time. After that, I'll be aiming to do a 5k in under 30 minutes. I've focused on long distance for so long that I've not cared about my shorter distance time. I did do 2 miles in 19 minutes recently, so 3 in 29 seems reasonable. Then it will be aiming for 3 in 27. There's a 5k next Sept and the winner gets an expensive rifle. Somehow I'm thinking that I'll not ever come close to those winning times (15 minutes?).
