Ran the CJC/NMV (Childrens Justice Center/No More Victimes) 5k. Did a 1/2 mile warm up, then the race, then ran back and found my daughter and pushed her in. (That added about another mile) Then I ran with my youngest son and daughter on the 1k they had. Did ok on the 5k. 21:47. The coarse has two turn-a-rounds, the first one at just over a mile. That is where my shoe came un-tied. HATE that. At the time I knew I was in 13-15 place and first girl was 1-3 behind me. There was no way I was stopping to tie that shoe! BUT what a distraction. Oh well. Made it. I finished, held off the 1st place girl. Came in 16th. In my mind I am wanting to place higher in these shorter races, and in the longer ones, but I used to not care about the shorter ones, now....It would be nice to win my age group. (today, 4th in age)
