Notes: I had already run well over six miles in training runs, so I was surprised when I was nervous for this race. I soon learned that I would always be nervous just before a race. Luckily, my friend Amy Beth (Wright) Wagoner and I teamed up. We ran the whole thing in step with each other; when one would lag, the other would help her pick up the pace. She especially helped me on the grueling Industrial Park hill. I was thrilled to have another Top 15 Female Finisher Medal and a sub-10 pace time. I was bummed about being 45 seconds over an hour though.
Photos: None. It was so cold, the camera wouldn't work!
