My neighbor was suppose to run the American Fork 10k last Saturday. She was injured so on Wednesday she asked me if I wanted to run for her. Of course I told her I would love to. The race course was where I used to run when we lived in American Fork so I loved it.
I felt really good the whole race. I ended up taking 3rd place out of all the women there! I took 2nd in my age group. I won a free pair of running shoes ($100 Altra gift card)! I was stoked. I need new running shoes bad so it couldn't have been better timing.
The pace on my watch isn't the average pace for the race, but it is the pace I was sprinting at through the finish.
The print out of my results had an error. I definitely didn't run it in 29 minutes at a 4:48 min/mile pace. If I did I would be running at the Olympics instead.
My official time was 44:34 and that is a 7:10 min/mile pace. I'm not good at very many things so it's fun to do something that I can place in the top.
