Saturday was the Make a Difference for ALS Walk/Run
The weather was conducive to good times - low 60s, no wind, foggy.
I came into the race very optimistic. I wanted to break 29 minutes, and based on my recent workouts I felt quite confident I could do it. As extra incentive, I told myself that if I met the 29 minute goal, I would run a 10K in my next race. There was a 60-year-old guy from Texas in the race. I was concerned that if I didn't beat him, I wouldn't medal. He was slightly faster than me. I had him in my sights the whole race. That motivated me. In the end, I didn't beat him, but I did finish in 28:33 - my best time in ten years! As it turns out, I medaled after all. I came in third place for the 50+ men.
Coach Ironfist couldn't be more proud.
