Okay, I did it. No, the race did not kill me. I just had a very busy weekend with the race included so haven’t been around much.
I had told myself, as I have never raced before, that I would be happy with finishing this 5K in under 40 minutes. I would be ecstatic if I finished in under 35 minutes.
My official finish time was 36:05 minutes. I did great for me. I am not a huge runner. I can do a ten minute mile but not three in a row usually, especially not outside.
I had a friend, an experienced runner go with me. He finished in 23:30 minutes. It was nice to not be there alone. It was nice to have someone to ride to Seneca Falls with. I loved the race! I will definitely do it again.

Congratulations, Nicki!
Kristen – Thanks! I had a good friend who runs marathons run it with me. Well, he ran his normal run and came back to run me in at the end. It really was a nice feeling.
Hey stranger – congrats on the first race!
Thanks, Brian
Excellent!! I was wishing you luck from home 😉
Thanks, Jen! I think I am going to do the Resolution Run at Otsiningo on Dec 31.
Good for you!! The next one will be easier….I think…then again maybe not. : )
I am not so sure about the next one being easier, Ambrosia, but there will be a next one. 🙂
Congratulations Nicki! I’m always happy with a finish regardless of time!
Thanks, Anjanette! And I am going to do it again!!! 🙂
