It's a start! For the first time in my life I actually entered a local race - the Dexter Ann Arbor 5k Run! As I said, it's a start and I think I'm addicted. I actually ran all but maybe 1/8th of a mile which I power walked - it was trying to get up the 170 foot hill on Maple Road. I can't feel down about any of it - I can just improve next year and see where it takes me. I'm also planning to run the Hell Race (Pinckney) in August. Sorry but I'm showering you all with some pictures - a couple from my cell phone, and a few that Pete took of me before I got in to the car - he dropped me off at the race and fished while I ran. Next year I hope to get Ryan involved in the race - but this year he is sidelined due to his knee.
Here's how I did -- compared to the winner in my age group that had a time of 24.15 - I don't think I'll ever be that fast - but at least I can be somewhere in the middle of the pack.
