Well, the marathon I was toying with running is closed (execpt for charity entries)--bummer! So I thought I needed a new goal . . . until Wednesday night. It was hot, hot, hot here on Wednesday--about low/mid 90's. I am a 60 to 70 degree sort of woman. Anything colder, I whine. Anything warmer, I whine.
They have a trail running series through a local running club. Wednesday it was at a trail five miles from here. My husband had a late work committment. My eldest spent the entire day at a theme/water park and was wiped out. My younger daughter said she would like to try it.
We finished the 5-mile trail in about 66 minutes. We were 139 & 140th out of 160 people. Considering the heat and the terrain, I was happy. My daugher was thrilled to learn she got first in her age group. Actually--there were four children under the age of 17 running the race; she was the only girl. She never needs to know that info.
Congratulations on finishing a challenging race!
