first race of the year

a few hours before waking up this morning, i had a dream that i was rushing to the race only to have to come back several times for things i had forgotten. the last thing i had forgotten was to brush my teeth. guess i was a little nervous.

though really i had nothing to be nervous about, even in the rain. i finished in just over 32 minutes, which is 5 minutes faster than my 5k last april. i'm wondering if i even may have eked in under 32 minutes if you count the fact that i wasn't at the front of the pack in the beginning. but alas i'll never know since i don't wear a watch :) i was beyond psyched when i saw the clock as i raced to the finish. and it felt good to have enough energy at the end to pass at least 5 people. and it was nice to have my mom at the start and finish yelling my name as if i was the fastest person there :)

i'm riding such a high right now that i wish i was still running!
