 | Running race 20:35 [5] 5 km (4:07 / km) vdot: 48.2 | |
| |
| I was ready for this event for a week or so. $50 first place in all age groups in both the 5K and 10K. It always impresses my Dad when I can actually make some money in a sporting event. Well there were no new people in my age group from last year and all I had to do was beat 21:45.
I probably could of won in the 10k based on the times I saw. I never could do this event before because I was never around on Labor Day Weekend.
I also ran into my track star from 10 years ago who placed 12 in the long jump at state. She had her baby with her and she walked the race. |
