Did this same race 2 years ago in 51 minutes 30 and today in 41 minutes 28 seconds. I was not last as there were 26 people behind me! A good day for sure and a personal record!

I have so much fun when I do them. I would like to try to do one a month this season.

Just have fun! Only compete against yourself because there will always be someone more fit than you. I am just happy to have a faster time. I did one in December with about a 47 minute finish. I really don't do an all out jog as I have knee replacements on both sides but today I was able to come pretty close to a jog for 3/4 of the race. Definitely building up my endurance!

oh Karen!  This is wonderful!

I remember you said that you walked instead of running due to your knees. I want you to know that YOUR PB  BEAT (yes BEAT) my first 5K in which I was jogging.

You are one hella fast walker!

Congrats!  You can be so proud!  Treat yourself to a pedicure!
