Shoot, I'm nearly a week behind on posting my mileage. This post is the only place I can keep myself accountable so I need to do a better job keeping it up to date.
Only did a quick 5 miles (maybe a smidge less). I was volunteering at a local race and needed to cut the run short.
The race itself was amazing. It was the 1st annual 5K put on by a local wellness center. There were 1250+ folks preregistered and a few more on race day. This is a small town (50K folk) so we never see races this size. Anyway, the RD put decent cash prizes out and we got some Kenyans from Atlanta to come down. I worked the finish line and had the fun to see them finish a 5K seconds over the 15 min mark....wow! What is even more impressive was the 1st place female to cross the line....a local 13 year old girl with a finish time of 18:02. As I watch her finish races (and win) time and time again I can't help but wonder if I'm watching a future olympic gold medalist.
Becuase I love to add pictures I'll add this one of the top finishers, including Grace.
