I was worried a ton about the weather because www.weather.com said we were due to get some snow/sleet/rain during our drive there and home. The weather.com also said we would be getting this during our race. I am not one who likes to run in rain and I seriously dislike to run in snow or freezing rain. However we were blessed to have PERFECT February weather. It was 38 degrees with little to no wind and only cloudy. I ran a super great race for me. I achieved a personal record of 36:47 for the 4 miles. Last time I ran a 4 mile race I had a 37:37 so I feel awesome about this new time. I was also 20th place out of 60 in my age group and 90th of 374 women! I was able to hold a consistent mile pace of 9:12 which to me is great because every time I practice running I seem to hold a 10-11 minute mile. Below are some pictures of my fun day:
Rhoni Jo, Stephany, the Burry Scurry bears and me. This was taken before the race. |

Stephany finding out she won a door prize. She won a super awesome water bottle. |

Stephany has this AMAZING kick when it comes to racing. She can pass everyone in the last 100 yards of a race. She appears to be flying here. |
Notice me in the pink and how far back I am from the guy in green. I wanted to pass him. |
Look I caught the guy in green and then passed him. See him looking over to see the girl passing him. |
Stephany and I with two girls we always see at these races. One girl is Lisa and the other is named Kris. |
COOKIES! |

After the race we got a picture together! Races are better with friends! I'm so blessed and thankful to have my greatest friends as my running friends! |
