Tonight was my first race of the year without D waiting for me at the finishing line. Granted, it was a women's only race in the evening and he did offer to come and cheer me on, but I didn't think it was necessary to keep the boys up just for me. And my sister was at the event, so it wasn't like I was alone.
It was the Esprit de She 5K, sponsored by Life Time and Athleta. Lots of swag ... free wine post-race ... free dinner ... and shopping discounts galore. Most importantly ... I shaved more than three minutes off my last chipped race time. Wahoo! I wasn't expected that. Especially because the course was super hilly, so I did have to walk a couple of the hills in the second half. It was that brutal. So, yeah, I was thinking I'd actually be slower than my last race so when I checked my race time ... I just had a big ol' smile on my face. I wish I knew what the time was on my very first race back in January. It would be awesome to compare how far I've come in the last seven months.
Now, I'm relaxing on the couch ... looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning. And at some point, I need to blog about this month's wine club venture (it was last weekend, but I just haven't had time to blog about it yet!)
