Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Location: Sacramento, California, United States

Results from River City Run

"Official" time = 52:53
(my clock read 52:52 & the race clock read 52:48 when I crossed the finish line, but I guess I shouldn't quibble about a few seconds, right?)
Overall Place = 59 out of 187 10K participants
Gender Place = 14 out of 98 total women
Division Place = 6 out of 29 women aged 30-39
Pace = 8:28 (approx.)

The scary part is that the woman who placed first in my division finished with a time of 40:14 and the first-place woman 10K runner overall finished in 40:04 and was actually in the next age bracket (she's 41)! Hmm. I guess I should look at this as being inspirational & something to strive for in my next decade, right?!
