If someone

 Told me id be loving racing this much 6 months ago, Id laugh. Im totally addicted.

Todays results from the Firecracker 5000:
1st Place in age group (25-29) 
Time: 24:33! 
55 over all out of 507 
9th female!

I beat my goal (25:05) by like 40 seconds, I am SO PROUD.
I got my first medal, and I scored a Gift Certificate from the photographers at the race, in some raffle I didn't even know I was entered into. So now I can get a picture for free! Heck yeah!

I wore a watch to pace my self this time, at 1 mile I was at 7:40 which was way better than I do on my tread mill runs. Dang, I did so much better than I had anticipated. I was very nervous because the running group looked pretty competitive, well mainly the guys! So I finished - and nearly threw up, and almost peed myself all at the same time once I crossed the line (thankfully I was super hydrated this time so I wouldn't get sick like the last race, and there was a disgustingly stinky porta-potty and water station near by)
So there it is. I finished, met my goal, surpassed my goal, and now am setting the bar a little higher, at UNDER 24 minutes. Just got to find a run to do.

Thanks to Movin' Pictures for my Gift Certificate and to Run Time Racing Services for a extremely organized and delightful event! Ill deff be running this next year, whose with me?
