It was a great day for a race. I kept up with John for about 4.5 miles but then he slowly pulled away from me. John came in at 45:45, I finished at 46:14, and Jess finished at 55:05. This was definitley both of our fastest 10k's we have ran. Afterward, we went and checked the results board and much to my surprise, I placed 1st in my age group (Male, 25-29)! John took 3rd place in his and Jessie to 4th in hers. It was a great showing all around.
For me to place in anything that involves running is quite surprising to myself because I have never liked or have been good at running. This just goes to show you what the power of the mind can do. Set some goals ( lose 30 lbs, run a half marathon in under 2 hours), have a plan, and be consistent! I've lost the 30lbs, the half marathon is in January. I'm well on my way!
Also on sunday, Women's Basketball beat Goergia Southern 68-65 after overcoming an 18 point 2nd half deficit. It was awesome to see them stay locked in and come together as a team to overcome some serious 1st half adversity. I hope this proves to them that great things are possible when they lock in and play as a team with great effort. We just need to start games with that in mind and we'll be fine.
