I did the race specifically HOPING I'd "show up and place". I ran this one a few years ago (although I didn't know it was the same race, because it had a less catchy name then. I DID know it would probably be the same course, though, since it was run at the same high school.) and I KNEW how hard the course was. I also knew how few adults run it. It's mostly high school kids, gearing up for their xc season. I fully expected to be dead last in the race. I was NOT! :-)
Ooooh...
ReplyDeleteShiny!
Yeah! Go Jeanne!
ReplyDeleteIt's still a very nice reward, regardless of how big (or small) the field. You did run the race.

Well, YOU'RE slim :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Not as slim as I used to be!
ReplyDeleteI gained about 9 pounds this past year. I have taken about 4 pounds back off, but I have lost lots of muscle and toning.
