The Candlelight Run
My brother, Nathan, me, and about 2,200 other people ran the candlight 5k last night in Greenville. Yes, this was my second 5k this year and I am still planning to run one more this year! I am a little addicted!! But as addictions go, this is one of the best ones. This race started at 9pm and the route was lit by candles. This was a very professional race because each racer got a chip to put on their shoe to time their individual pace. It was very exicting and the best part is that I improved my time from the race I ran in April. I ran this race in 38:51!!! I ran a 12:31 mile which is slightly slower than I run on the treadmill but this was on the road and in 85 degree weather (neither of which I have working against me at the gym). That was at least 3 minutes faster than the first race. I am so happy and my hope for the next race is to run it in 35 minutes or less. I am looking for a good race in later October or November. Does anyone know of one?
Next year, the 10k!!!

Way to go, Jessica! I'd really like to do that one next year--it sounds really neat.
You did a great job in this race! I'm very proud of you! :-) And don't worry- I won't be dragging my feet on this next race (too much) ;-) - that would make it harder to run. :-)
