Each New Day

Today I learned just how much my running has improved. We entered a small local 5K run this morning. There were not many people entered, maybe 50. But I was thrilled that my husband ran right with me and helped me to set and stay on a pace. I ended up running my personal best, 27:12! And the most unbelievable thing about it is that time was enough to put me as top female finisher!! yes, I beat a teenager and 20 somethings and 30 somethings!! WooHoo!!

I found out today that a fun 5K race is coming to our state later this year. It is the Skirt Chaser series, sponsored by Skirt Sports. These are the makers of running skirts. I have not worn this particular running skirt before, but I do have a couple of other brands. I really like them and actually wore one in my triathlon earlier this year.

The Skirt Chaser 5K takes a new approach to the race. The woman must all wear a running skirt by Skirt Sports (included with registration fee.) The women start off the race. About three minutes later, the skirt chasers (ie the men) begin their race. It looks like lots of fun.
