St. Patrick’s Day 5K – 21 mins!
Celeste and I ran the St. Patrick’s Day 5K yesterday. We were lucky the weather changed and it wasn’t raining. It was a bit chilly but great for running. I ran in shorts, light t-shirt, and my running gloves; the layering was just right.
I ate a little bit one hour before the race thinking it was going to help me, but it didn’t. I felt like puking after the first mile. But that didn’t stop me, I figured I only had 2 miles more to go.
The first half of the race I had a 13 year old girl running ahead of me! She finished just 1 or two minutes after me, hard core. She was tiny, long blond curly hair, and thick glasses.
I finished the race in 21 minutes 29 seconds. It’s the fastest 5K I’ve ran. I got third place in my age group. And celeste got 2nd place in hers! The Neumont Runners are on fire!
Thanks Greg for taking pictures! And for holding our stuff as we were running =). Next time I need to grab the camera and include you in the pics.
Once the race was over, Cody showed up and we went to Rumrz to have a couple of beers to celebrate St. Patty’s. Carol joined us there for a bit a little later. It was a really fun race.
