I woke up Saturday morning in a fog. I looked at the clock and it said 8:45 am. Could it be that my 2 1/2 yr old and I slept in? "Wait, did I miss the race?". I quickly called Dianna to find out that the race was at 10:30- plenty of time.
I rolled out of bed and prepared for the race and got my daughter all bundled up and convinced her that she wanted to go to the race because Dianna's doggies would be there. When I arrived at the race I loaded up the stroller with my running bag and baby and headed for registration where I found Dianna's hubby and the doggies. Warmed up by jogging to the start which was .5 mile uphill. Found April-Anne and John S and we were off. April and I stayed together for the first 2 miles, then I had a burst of speed and pulled ahead. Up the hill I chugged as I pulled my "rope" to the top to finish the race in a PR time of 23:40.
Dianna pulled off 1st place in our age group, I took 3rd and April -Anne placed also in her age group. It was a day of winning for the Running Chicks!
