This weekend was an awesome family race. I entered the 10K, Hannah and Jay did the 5K. We all placed and won medals! I couldn't believe Jamison ran the 5K in 26 minutes, and placed first for his age division. Hannah got 3rd for her age division. I had a great race and placed 2nd for my age division. The woman in first place was the high school cross-country coach and she was fast, really fast. I wanted to have a good race to make up for the tough time I had running with an injury for the half-marathon. I wanted to do 8:30 minute miles, but I averaged 8:06 minute miles for 5 miles. To some it may be slow, but I was really happy. My running buddies all did well too. What I won't tell you is that I got the 2nd place ribbon because there were probably less than ten ladies in my age division. You've gotta love small towns sometimes. You've got a chance to feel like a winner once in a while!
