Race Recap
This was a womens’ championship race for a wonderful cause. The race was open to both men and women but the cash prizes etc. were for women only. Therefore, all the speedy ladies came out to get their cash :) I am happy with my 14th place because so many talented women were running. Our team even came in 2nd place. Super excited about that. The race was short (obviously) and relatively flat. The course itself wasn’t very exciting but the race was run well with lots of volunteers and goodies for the runners and it was a fun race to run.

Next up: A 5-Miler shore run next weekend to kick off Memorial Day right!

That's a great improvement from last year! 20:20 is speedy!! I wish I could run a 5K that fast. 5K's are so tough for me!
