Bryan Station Defender Classic 5K Run/Walk 2012

April 21 - This the 2nd race through the Fayette County Public Schools.  This is also my first race running in the rain.  I was totally unprepared.  The temperature was 50 with light to medium rain.  I wore a bandana but also brought a hat.  My clothing was a t-shirt underneath a long sleeve shirt along with capri length running pants.  I was determined to finish the race even if my clothes got soaked and my sneakers felt squishy. 

70th out of 166 overall/9th out of 20 in age group

My time is better than my last 5K's.  Room for improvement is definitely there.  My goal was to get out of 30mins and I've certainly done that.  My next race isn't until 5/12 and that is the last Fayette County Public School race.  As a finisher, I'll be getting a Trifecta shirt with all three races on it.  What an accomplishment plus I plan to better my time again.  I can't wait.  I hope to have my kids and husband there to cheer me on for this one.  I'll need that extra push especially since I'm still struggling on mile 2 but I've got my sprinting stride pretty much set when I hit the mile 3 marker and see the finish line.
