Wooooo! I did my 5 miles in (garmin time) 53:54. Much faster than I had thought I would…thanks to some friends pushing me through 
before…
after….
Can you believe I ran 12.8 mph on occasion? Now that’s awesome…or a glitch…
I’m exhausted, and now I have Suzuki Group class to teach, followed by (hopefully) a nap and then our first opera performance. Complete race recap will come later.
I hear you on too short knee socks. I’m taller, too, so most “knee socks” barely kiss the bottom of my knee. Target’s “over the knee” socks tend to work out pretty well.
