So I finally looked over the results of the Rose Run from the newspaper. I wasn't last!! There were two people behind me about 20 minutes, true they were 80 & 84 but still counts. If I would have known there were people behind me I would have stayed ahead of the boy and his mom and finished 5th from the end. The boy was in the 13-14 year old group and the mom was in my group. They beat me by only 16 seconds. Damn. Ok next race the goal is to run the first mile without stopping, and if there are any runners around me to ignore them and just pass them if I can and keep going. I need to not forget my stopwatch since there have only been one timekeeper at both races and if I use my watch I can keep better track.

My official time from the paper is 44:01 and Advance Packaging was 47:02 so without practice and with this race not being flat I still improved 3 minutes. Concord is flat so maybe I can do 41 that would be awesome. I'll have to get last years stats. I also need to get last years papers & numbers scrapbooked so I don't keep getting further behind.
