1st Place in my age group for the 5K Ghost Run!!! My time was minutes away from my "goal time" but one of my goals was to win my age group (women's 22-29). When I crossed the line off my goal time I didn't even bother checking the official race results until my mom came over and said Melis you won!?!? .... what? I won :) Ahhh it was worth it. So we waited around for my shiny new North Palm Beach medal and a $25 gift card for Park Avenue, which was basically winning back my registration and putting it towards some ribs ... anything better than that ... um no. After the race I got an email that said there were 29 people in my age group and 157 people in the race. I was 59th overall. The winning time was 16:57 ... are you kidding me? I think that was my time BEFORE the 2 mile mark and this guy was done? Crazy ... Well Thanks to my mom, phil, and Levi who all came out to support me race!! It was def. an EARLY saturday morning and I was happy to have them both there to watching my pain and suffering ... uhh I mean my running ability =) This race did give me a goal, get my butt in shape, and got me into a pair of jeans I haven't worn since college this year. Also big props to my husband the official photographer who snapped a bunch of great photo's ... way to go Phil! So here are a few from race day ...
Yes ... I'm Done!!
