I ran a 5k race today...The Hannukah Hustle. It's my 3rd year running it and I love the course, but it ends in an uphill (this should NOT be allowed).
I was just off my best time and I got first in my age group!!!!!!! I've never ever placed in any of my races. It's always been about me beating my old times. I was so excited! And no I wasn't the only one in my age group.
Here I am with my medal.
And here is my medal.
This week I celebrated Hannukah and next week it's Christmas. I'm running The Santa Run with DSS. We will be dressed in full Santa suits for the race.
ETA...I am also at the old end of my age group. In January I will be in the new age group and be the youngest 
Can't wait for that!

DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

The 25-30 age group wouldn't even allow me to place lynn.
In January I get to compete in the Masters Age division. I don't know if I should be happy or cry.
