Saturday my sister, Nicole, and I ran the Atlanta Track Club’s Atlanta’s Finest 5K. This was my third time running this race – I did it once with Husband and once solo. I was excited to run it this year because my sister was joining me and because I set a goal to match or beat my previous time.

Score!

My best 5K time was this same race 2 years ago, 33:11. My official time for this one is 32:39.

I’m back in training mode getting ready for several half marathons and deciding on marathon #3; and one of my goals is to increase my pace. This race was a great confidence booster for me. I can do more than I think I can and I’m just getting started.

Another bib for the books!

Me and Nicole ready to run – and some new recruits, too.

Still loving my Mizunos. I just LOOK at my feet and want to go faster.

The course was mostly flat but boasted some big hills. Atlanta’s Finest were on hand the entire route.

I caught Nicole running to the finish line. So proud of her – she was cruising, too!

It’s always nice to see friends at races especially when you hear them cheering you on at finish. Me and the lovely Laura Scholz. Laura’s such a ROCKSTAR, she placed 2nd in her age group!

Lola (my Garmin) and I were moving today. I was so happy to see her smiling these numbers at me.

I came in 22nd in my age group out of 65. Fun!

Cute for a unisex shirt. I’m happy to add it to my collection and looking forward to the next one.
