Mansfield Pickle Palooza

Well, Lisa and I decided not to do the Dash Down Greenville. Too much debauchery and too many people. We decided to do the PicklePalooza 10K in Mansfield. We registered the day before so we didn't get a t-shirt :(

The race overall was great. I liked the route. We ran through downtown, and through the trails. It was nice scenery. There were some hills that were challenging. My sister was with me the whole time, which was nice. I needed that encouragement to get to the end! It was a small race, which was nice. Though, a few things I didn't like about it. No cold water and no mile markers. I had to guesstimate where we were. Timing chips were the ones you had to turn in.. I prefer the disposable ones.

Since it was a small race, I placed #4 in my age group! Was very happy about that. That will probably be the only time I will place that high, but I'll take it! And, I also got a PR!

I need to start getting on the ball to train for my half marathon!

Upcoming races:
April 21: Ft Worth Zoo Run, 5K. A few of my Mothers of Multiples group will be running this one.
May 6: Hills and Heels, half marathon. A few ladies from my running group are doing this one as well.
May 28: American Heroes 5K. My Mothers of Multiples group is running this to honor the memory of a fellow member's brother.
June 16: Dadfest 5K. My dad and I are going to run this one!
