Ran the Devils Dash 5K yesterday morning at the Gypsum Creek Golf course. It was my first ever x-country race, almost completely on the golf course, and my first running race in a LONG time. I have been running now for about 2 weeks, so wasn't really sure what to expect, but was hoping to break 21 minutes. I ran a 20:45 for 4th place out of about 70 (across all age categories.) I beat Ty (a 7th grader in my class) by 5 seconds, he was hauling as well. He is about 5' tall, so I have quite a large stride advantage on him.... A friend was on the course taking pics, so he sent me a few. I got several compliments on my socks. I have to admit, it was a lot of fun, and very well organized! Not that I am going to do many more running races, but would like to break 6 minutes for the mile when the middle school kids run it in a week. Haven't done that since high school, and my fastest ever I think was like 5:45 ish...
