On August 15th (on the hottest day of the summer...) I ran the hottest half 10K at White Rock Lake. They had a half marathon and 10k race -- in August, in Texas, in 95degrees! Whoa! (It was 88 degrees at start time!)
To my surprise, I felt really strong and ran well -- 6.2 miles in 53:30. Not my best time by far, but pretty darn good given the conditions! Plus, it earned me 58th overall (mens and womens with 600+ runners) AND 5th in my female age group, 80+ runners. I was really happy with the results and I'm excited for race season to begin! However, that means serious training and good-bye to my pinot grigio and vodka tonics for awhile... or, maybe just not as often ;-)
This is my girlfriend Catrina and I before the race. She did the half marathon (crazy chica!!!) I don't have any race pics because our husbands went out for breakfast while we were running! Paul is really getting the hang of this race day thing! He eats while I run! lol!
