So we did it again! I would have liked to say it was so much easier the second time around, but it was actually harder this time. Maybe it's because I knew what to expect this time, I don't know, but either way this race pushed me. I did shave a whole minute and ten seconds off my time, so that might have had something to do with it. :) I ran it in just under 26 minutes and got fourth in my age division which was pretty large this time. 20-35 I think. The runner of the day was actually Sarah Galan who shaved three and a half minutes off her time!! What a runner! Though the race ladies got her time wrong at the finish and we had to correct them. . . see her blog for the whole story, right? This race didn't have a chip time and it seemed a lot more disorganized (they put the wrong times in the paper for one thing and got Sarah's time wrong at the finish) but overall it was great to accomplish yet another race. Basically this gets my rear in gear to actually run.
Is that Chelsea in the background?
ReplyDeleteGood job Monique. I wish I liked running because you would be so fun to run with. In my next life, we can be run buddies, ok?
Sho nuf Marianne! I do tend to gab while I run. And yes, that is Chelsea, funny huh? She was working the race.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Mo!! You have always been so athletic. You inspire me. Are you going to CO for our reunion? I figured you would be out of the county. We are still contemplating going. Email me what your plans are. I would love to see you!
ReplyDeleteHmm...July 4th. I think I can do that one. Count me in!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually thinking about doing the 4th of July one; a) because it's on base and b) John will be back a month before then so I can actually start running a little. We'll see. Just thinking of it makes me nervous! I'm such a wimp.
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you turning into quite the runner. I'm duly impressed! Really - running is just something I can't get into. Give me any other sport.
ReplyDeleteAnd BTW I used nail polish REMOVER - not nail polish. Yes, that would be a step in the wrong direction.
Guess we'll see you tomorrow!
You all are awesome! Again, me, i do enough just to stay in my pant size, but one day i would like to do a marathon just to say i did it!
ReplyDeleteAwesome, you're getting me motivated to run again! Two races and it's not even May yet, you're doing great this year!
