Indulging on Chinese food last night, I had no thought of racing today. When I woke up, I had two bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and still no thoughts of racing.
I wanted to put in 5 miles today, so I called the running chicks to find out their running schedules. Since they were both planning on racing in the Boom Box One Mile Road Race, I quickly threw on my running sneakers and within five minutes I was on my way to the race (with a quick stop at a store to buy patriotic ribbon to tie around my ponytail—hey, it’s the 4th of the July after all!)
The race was uneventful and it seemed to be over before it started. I was almost passed by a runner with his dog, but I caught him at the very end and finished in 6:23. (I’m hoping that is the correct time. Online it said 6:23, but it also said I was 20 years old and that certainly isn’t true.) :)
Dianna, Michelle and I all placed in our divisions and we received little metals. What a great day!
Happy 4th of July! God Bless America!
