Clearly this was a low key local race in which no competition showed up, thus the win. Very nice, well organized. Kinduva last minute impulsive decision to drop in. I procured a baby holder and jogged and did a few sprints 5 minutes before the start. Then I ran. It was nice to bust the rust off and actually a better time than I expected with my current lack of fitness. It's a start. As soon as I finished I had to get in the car and drop off one daughter and then the baby was screaming so I went straight home. My very kind friend who served as a baby holder with her husband picked up my winnings for me--$100 and a trophy. I cannot complain about that! I'm thinking of getting an exercise bike to build aerobic base. I can fit it in my upstairs apartment, it won't bother the neighbors or wake the baby, and it can help me out on those days when I can't stroller run or work precludes me from running laps, and I can maybe spend more time than 30-40 minutes on a treadmill.
