Braving the Heat

Quincy and I have been braving the summer heat by continuing to run in two 5K events.  Race 1:  Miles for Mattie.  Time:  27.12 (place 3rd in age group).  This race benefited a young girl in our community who is battling cancer.    There was a large turnout.  It made me proud that the local community rallies around such a great cause.  This race was special also because Miss Mattie herself started the runners, and she completed the one mile fun run.  It was very moving.

Race 2:  Spirit of Liberty.  Time:  29.41.  Let me say first that they changed the course this year and the mileage ended up being 3.4 instead of 3.1.  I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but it kind of is when you are running hard and in the heat.  Nevertheless, we finished and Quincy and I both won first in our age groups.  Next up:  Peachtree Road Race!!
