I just returned home from running my first 5K of this fall season. I was a little worried because I had not run on a road since the Swamp Run last March. I have been running on the treadmill, though, so I knew that I was in decent shape. Well, I am pleased to report that not only did I achieve a new personal best time (about 27:42), but I also placed second in my age division. This is the first time that I have ever won anything for running. I know that it's silly, but I am so proud of my little trophy. Winning it actually makes me just want to train harder and run more. Brian and the kids didn't get to go because it was a night race (and the race took place during the FSU game), but they were all waiting for me when I got home. When I walked in they all yelled "Good job, mommy". How sweet!
