Did a local 4 mile race this morning in Alton.  The competition wasn't there, so I probably  didn't really push myself like I should have.  I think 2nd place overall must have been 10 minutes behind me.  I'm not sure if I can really count this one as a win.  The race was at about 7100 feet and uphill the whole way, it was a tough course.  I'm glad there wasn't anyone pushing me, because I don't think I would have wanted to work harder then I was. 

 

I was most happy with my 7 year old girl who knocked 2 minutes off her 1 mile from the same race last year.  She ran a mile in 9:07!!  I don't think I could have done that at her age.  I was a proud father.  She took her division as well (7-10).

good job winning the race. I have never won a race out right. I have Came in second a couple of times. Sounds like a killer climb. your daughter sounds like a pretty runner. what were the awards like?

The awards were pretty sad. I was given a paper certificate and a water cooler. There wasn't an entry fee, so I can't complain too much.
