It a Wonderful 5K Run

I will do a big race recap when I have pics available, but I did this race in 26:34! Ok, I thought it was a PR at first but its not! Boo hoo! I think my PR is 25:50?? Man I cant remember. It was when I did my run test for my coach. I need her to send me a copy of my times again. I need to keep a spread sheet for myself.

This was the last run at age 29...Today I turned the Big 30! Over the last couple of year I have been truely blessed to have such awesome support and encouragement and great friends to lean on! I couldn't have made it this far without them!! So Im thanking everyone! Im getting a little teary eyed as I write this.

Even though I didn't PR, I had great friends to share the joy and excitement of running with. Friends from Lake Effect Run Club. I met these truely awesome people last year when a co-worker introduced me to them! I was fascinated at how welcome they made me feel. It didn't matter what time I could run a 5K in or what my best race was. It was about coming together to run with company. Sure there are fast and slower runners with me, but If I want to run faster I can find someone to run with, or even at a slower pace as well.

I started the day off today with two of my Tri Buddies. We were planning on a run through downtown Syracuse. Yeah, we ended up doing 9 miles in the cold rain! But my heart was warm and we had great conversation about everything and anything! Then I got some Hershey Kisses at the end!! Icing on the Cake!! I love my group!!

So far I've had the Best Birthday ever! I wouldn't change a thing!! To a new Decade and new Age group!!

I will post pics and a recap as soon as I get the pics from my friend who took all the pics as I forgot the camera!!
