Race: Spooktacular Fun Run (3.1 Miles) 00:24:40, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 1
Total Distance
3.10

I have never won anything before at a run.  I think I only beat one other person in my age division, but hey, that is cool.  I was the 2nd woman by only about 10-20 seconds. 

If it was a true 5k, I ran about a minute faster than the best time I had before.  YEAH!!

It was a fun run, and good to have the family involved!!

I didn't know you'd started back up with things! Good to see that you're getting some miles in and feeling pain-free!
