It was a great day at the races!

I kept a steady pace and hustled my butt to keep up with an elderly man doing the 5k with a cane in his hand. (Just to give you an idea of how fast I can "walg" jog/walk)

There was some sort of little competition going on before the 5k between two OH-ers, but I don't really remember much about that. :)

Afterwards, I hung out and watch the horses run. I didn't bet any money until the big 6th race and I lost my 5 dollars. BUT my friend bet on the winning horse, Colonel John and won a big $4!!!! It was a $2 bet, but it was so exciting.....you would thought we had won the lotto we were so thrilled.

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Great pics! I'm glad you all had a great time and a great run! It looks like a really pretty run too! I had to LOL at you commenting on keeping up with the old man with the cane. I can't even tell you how many times during a marathon I have been passed up by people with one leg, people on crutches, people people pushing strollers, pulling wagons, etc. It frustrates me that I can't keep up! More power to them though for not letting their disabilities hinder their run. Great job to all of you who participated!

I took your $10 and bet on a 'sure thing' in the sixth race. Sorry.
