Be the Change

Medal

I won my first running medal tonight!

I totally wasn't expecting it! The race was called, "Market Street Mile," and involved a one mile run down Market Street finishing at the town's park. I started a bit faster than I should have, but dialed it back to save energy for the end. I'd never run a mile race before, though I had tried just a mile, so I had an idea of what time I could do it in. I was shooting for about 9 minutes, and I got 8:13! I don't yet know how I finished overall, but I got first in my age group, 30-34!

I've never been so happy to be 30!

I was so shocked when they called my name! I want to wear the medal to work tomorrow!
