For the first time ever I placed in the top three of my age division, and no, there wasn't only three runners in my division. :) I was very happy.  Total time 30:28 average pace 9:43. Took 24 seconds off of last year. :)

I ran quite slow today because of a sore left hamstring and lower back.

Walked/jogged while pushing my 4 year old in the jogging stroller as I took my older son to school, then walk/jogged for about a mile extra before going home. It is such nice weather for October I just couldn't pass it up.

Walked back up to the school to pick up my son and walked home again.  I'm counting this walking as part of my miles because I do run part of it and I want to keep track of my calories.

Jogged with my son as he road his bike to school, then after school I walked back up and picked him up.

I'm so excited.  This course is a lot harder than the one I ran 2 weeks ago, and I came in faster today.  There were some pretty good hills and I just pushed up them. It was great. These last two races I've come very close to averaging what I ran in High School. (I know pretty sad for a high school runner), but not many people my age can say that.
