10k #2/3

COMPLETED!
On my 39th Birthday!

(the gal in the white behind me is the speed walker)

If you don't remember, Darin and I are doing a 3 race series on the same course to try and improve our time.
Here is the info from the 1st race.

There were probably about half as many people as there was in January. It may have been due to the frigid air, wind and rain. There were a few places on the course where you were fighting the wind to move forward. But once you were running, it wasn't really cold. There were a couple of people who fell due to ice being on the trail. Darin saw a guy coming in that had blood running down his face from a fall. They warned about ice, but I guess a few people got caught off guard. You didn't know that running was a hazardous sport!

I'm SO excited to report that I improved my time by 4 MINUTES!!!
And yes, I did beat the speed walker this time! :-)

Darin improved his time by 8 minutes!
He's a stud!

Our official times:
Heather                Darin
1hr 04min            47:29 min
10:22 pace            7:40 pace
Women's Place          Men's Place
26/33                    21/33

I'm very pleased with these results!
Though I have no idea how I'm going to beat this time for the last race. Eeek!!
