New Personal Record!!!

Woo Hoo! So excited!! The stars all lined up perfectly and tonight I took 28 seconds of my previous best time for a 5K. By my watch the time was 28:06. That has earned me a pedicure with my buddy Mindy!! Perhaps I should have done a little less well so that I could earn another on its heels. Ha! It's going to be tough to make another record now, but God knows I'll try.

My honey husband was sweet enough to pace me tonight since he raced yesterday. He was the perfect combination of encouraging and impatient. The weather cooperated. I left the music home. I wore my new highlighter shoes. I ate sensibly all day, nothing heavy. And the brand new purple streak in my hair was the piece de la resistance that gave me the extra edge! What a night. So psyched!

My second time finishing in the top half of both men and women. Yippee. And even better, this was my first time finishing in the top 25% of my age group!!! Outstanding. I will now shower and treat myself to a trio of bite size Yorks.
