It was a beautiful morning to run a 5k in Boulder,CO. On Thanksgiving I usually go to Fort Collins for the Fort Collins 4 mile race. They offer prize money, in which I won $150 last year. I chose the Boulder Road runners 5K for a couple of reasons. First, I am not ready to be really serious yet. 2nd, I wanted to run with my running group. 3rd, I wanted to finally break 18:00 on this course. My best was 18:02. I ran a 17:30 in the summer. I know I am not in that kind of shape now, but was pretty confident I could break 18:00. I ran 17:47 and was pleased with my effort for this time of year. I was 2nd women overall (1st Masters women). I am 15 years older than the winner! I also had a nice battle with my boss, Dan Skarda. He is so tough to beat. I beat him three times in a row, but he got me today. He pulled ahead of me right after the 2mile mark and ran 17:41. I need to work on the middle of my race.
