A new personal best and 1st in my age group at the Home Run 5 Miler to benefit the Home of the Innocents.  This race is a Schadt favorite held at the beautiful Bernheim Forest outside Bardstown, KY.  The course was a hilly, but fast 5 miles.  It was amazing and so fun to hear my name announced as the top finisher in the womens 24-29 group.  My time was 37:37, with a pace of 7:24/mile.   I think I finished in the top 5 – 8 women in the entire race, but am waiting for the official results to be posted online later this week.

On another note, I spotted one of my very favorite runners, 72 year old Rose Taylor, at the race this morning.  She is so inspiring and adorable and I love how she says, “I just never stopped running.”  She has her cute running shorts, tights, short grey hair and a smile on her face.  I know she insires many to keep running.  Running is a great lifetime sport and hope to be running races at the age of 72.
