MADE IT!!! over 1251 chipped run/walkers in the New Year's Eve 5.5k race (for charity! $25+3 cans of food each) - first year we were chipped was 2014 and I took 1 hr 4min to complete. Last year I forget when I was sic but we only did the 1.75 fun walk no chip so I don't have a record of the time.
This year, 2016, my goal was to come in closer to 1000 in placement and under an hour!
WE DID IT!!!! THANK YOU DAVID NOTTINGHAM for sticking with me!
I placed 30 our of 46 in my age group! and 938 of that 1251 chipped walk/runners!!!! WOO HOO!!!
I even ran (ok maybe jogged) downhills!!!! Today my gluteusmaximus is really sore but totally worth it! The lights are always amazing! Again this year, David and I are vowing to take part in more 5ks. (compete is a bit of a stretch! haha but just taking part in them would be awesome!)
I hope you had a GREAT start to the new year!
I encourage you to make a reasonable goal that you can complete this first month of the new year and start out the year on a positive note!
I wish you each joy and prosperity each day of 2016!
