A Big Thank You to the Covington Firehouse 5K

 Having done zero speedwork this year, it should have come as no surprise that my 5K pace would be slower than last year.  Alas, I have a poor memory for bad news.  In my mind, I was going to rock it just like my 7 minute pace last spring.  Surprise!

Despite falling off pace and beginning to daydream around the half way point, I did find my way back into the race and finished hard.  I was inspired by the fireball runner in front of me who placed first overall in the female master's division.  I couldn't quite catch her!

Receiving my Dalmation Trophy.

It was a wonderful morning to be outside and in the company of runners of all levels.  And I came away with a unique age group trophy, a medal for my collection, and a t-shirt for my son.  A good start to the weekend! 

First Place in my age group-- Whoo, Hoo!
