Today I went out of my comfort zone and completed a 15k, (9.3 miles)! I skipped the 10K completely and went for it. Go big or go home right. I was nervous, being there were over 2000+ participants! Felt awesome. The freaking running community is awesome and I love every minute of a race, before and after.My plan was the pace myself at 9 minute mile, since it was a longer race. HA! My feet for some reason today had other plans. I paced myself at an amazing 7 min 31 seconds. Faster than my 5K fastest pace. I was in shock. I saw several young girls ahead of me, thinking my chances of placing were pretty slim, I managed to place 3rd over my age group and 90TH over all. Now thats rewarding.
Meeting other runners, all ages makes me realize I found my niche, and this is something I am going to hold onto. The oldest man running was 84! 84 YEARS OLD, and going strong. Amazing to see peoples determination!
I dont have the professional pictures yet but here are some from my phone.
