Better With Age

Before leaving for Canada, Brian and I were talking about our race times for various races and at different phases of life.  I realized that I had mis-reported my race time here (in referring to the Antigonish Highland Games 5-miler in 2002, my first time running the race.)  My time was was actually 44 min. plus, so 49 min. was not my personal best.)

Finding my actual time gave me a new goal.  I knew that I could beat 44 minutes and I planned to try.  The night of the race was excellent weather and I felt great.  So, I did it!  My times are listed below.

I am number 207.

#207 - the beginning of the race

The last stretch.....See Megan off to the side in the dirt.  She was helping me to finish strong!

The clock was the "gun time," but the chip time was 43:25.
