Before the race. I ran my first 8K race (and first race of the year) on Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 11:45 am. My goal a.) was to finish and b.) to try and finish in 45 minutes or less. Success on both points! My time was 42:24. Now my goal is to get my 8:33 mile closer to a 7:30 mile. I missed getting my name in the newspaper by 10 seconds! There were over 3600 (3422 finishers) entrants in the entire race (5K run/walk and 8K run). I placed 11th in my age group (out of 32 women ages 35-39) and 330 overall out of the 600 entrants in the 8K. I have a lot to work toward this summer and for next year.
The finish comes into view!
The clock is only at 42 minutes--cool!
I am NOT going to let anyone pass me at the last minute.

David ran 35:25 and Aaron was just a couple of minutes behind him.
