Tom dressed as Elwood Blues and I dressed as Elvis and we ran this fun little 5K in Provo canyon. Tom won the 1st place prize. He actually came in 3rd, but the first two could not collect cash prizes because of college. So Tom got the $20.00 cash prize, (which was handed over to Camron for some gas).
The girls had a 3 minute head start. So I finished closer to the front than I would have if the guys would have started at the same time. I was the 4th girl. The first one was a 10 year old girl. I kept thinking she was going to wear out, but she kept it strong all the way!
Of course when I get 1st in my age they don't give any awards, but that's ok. I feel good about this race.
Tom and I ran the course while we were waiting for people to get there. This past week was the first I've really been getting back to a good routine after the marathon so I am happy with where I am and that there were no signs of injury.
This club does a 5K every month at this same location so it will be fun to run a few and see if I can improve my time. I want to focus on shorter distances for a while and see what I can do. |
