Yes, that is a medal you see! I finished 3rd in my age group with an overall time of 1:03:48. Since the goal was to finish under 1:05, I think my time is pretty great. This experience was a good one. Between miles 3.5-5 or so was a bit of a struggle. It was awesome coming in the home stretch (the last 3/4 mile) though because a very experienced runner (who had already finished) paced me in and gave me a push and pointers. It was GREAT! I can't even tell you what a boost that gave me. I am definitely considering joining the running club in town because I think I would be able to glean alot of info and pointers to help me through the half marathon I want to participate in next month. I'll be updating my goals in the next few days and sharing pictures of my penalty and reward system. Stay tuned...
