35 minutes 22/25 seconds

About a month ago it came to our attention that the Roy Days' 5k was coming up. Wendy said she would only run it if she had someone to run with her. I volunteered. We stayed side by side for almost the whole run. My goal was to "not get beat by Wendy." The course is the same as last year which meant that the last half-mile or so was uphill. When we were about 400 yards from the finish Wendy picked up her pace, then again at 300 yards, 200 yards, 100 yards, and by the end we were in a dead sprint. She didn't want to get beat by me and I wouldn't let her get ahead of me. In the end, it was my long legs that won the day. I came in a mere 3 seconds ahead of Wendy. We just about collapsed at the finish line. It was fun for to have that early morning "date."

Love it! I beat my husband in a 5k and it did BAD things for his ego! Wendy, you can't help it that you got your mother's little legs!
