Here's a quick review of Saturday's race: I got up really early, ran pretty steady, a couple of hills but no big issues and a PR! Amazing how I turned all that into such a long post earlier.
I figured the least I could do while I'm hangin' here by the pool is post the winners from my virtual 5k. Thirty-eight of you participated and helped me get about $400 closer to my goal! Wow! Thank you guys so much! I can't even begin to tell you how much it means to me. I loved hearing about your personal connections to autism. I was also so touched by those who participated just as a chance to support me and my goals. Amazing! I have been so overwhelmed with emotion and have had a hard time really expressing what this experience has meant to me. I was nearly in tears as I spoke with Candice about it after the race on Saturday. I hope that each of you get the chance to train and raise money for a cause that is dear to you. Truly an incredible experience.
Ok. I've got my random number generator all set to go so let's start with a list of all the participants.
