Music City 10K

I ran my first race in a year yesterday.  A year ago I ran the Music City Half Marathon and yesterday I ran the 10K for that same race.  Unfortunately I have not been training much.  Life has been crazy and Gray only naps when dropping and picking Rylan up from school so I don't get much time to workout.  Luckily we've been having a few warmer weeks and I've been able to get out with the jogging stroller some.

My goal was 9 minute miles - nothing too ambitious but would still be challenging in my current fat state (I cannot drop these last 10 lbs from Gray!!!).  Somehow, I did it :)  I finished in 55:09 (which is 8:54/mile.  I went out a little too hard and started struggling around 4.5 miles (my legs felt like lead).  But I met my goal!

And I placed second in my age group!!!  Everyone got finisher's medals but I also got a hat, tumbler, and Stuffitts (they keep your shoes smelling good!) for placing.
