Yes, I'm still talking about this

I am so proud of my race on the 4th! I fell short of my goal time by 5 minutes, BUT my secondary goal was a win! My secondary goal was clear: run the whole time. My time ended being 50:12. Also, photographers were set up all along the course, and I had some (very unflattering) pictures taken of me! I think it's pretty cool I got a picture of just me. my next race is going to be "Race for the Cure" this October. Since breast cancer hits close to home, I hope to raise money as an individual runner. And my goal for that race will be to cut 2 minutes off my time :) I'm having trouble adding the pics; here's the links to copy and paste: https://picasaweb.google.com/109873468692971585252/2012YorktownIndependence8K#5762543055736808722 https://picasaweb.google.com/109873468692971585252/2012YorktownIndependence8K#5765156945254085826

But really, yay! I could never run a marathon. In high school and jr high when we were supposed to run the mile, i faked it. I would walk it and then most of the other kids would end up eventually lapping me, and i would usually have one more lap to go for the full mile when they were finishing, but i would just stop also, and the teacher wouldn't notice. About as close to cheating as i ever got in school.
