This weekend so far, I've had two firsts...
First Snow Fall - As I look at my window this morning it looks like Christmas time. Everything is white, everywhere. The snow is covering all the tree branches and it looks like a winter wonderland - on October 30th. Yikes....what is the rest of the winter going to look like? I am a little scared!
First Overall Female - I met up with my sisters for another race this weekend. It was another small, really small race - only about 35 walkers and runners. They were well organized and did give out technical t-shirt instead of cotton t-shirts. Which is unusual in these neck of the woods. But the smalls weren't really smalls so I got mine in a size Cowboy could wear. The girls and I did a quick warmup before the race started and then we were off.
Many of the regulars weren't there and within just the first half mile of the race I realized that I was first female. At the turnaround I was able to see my sisters and just 2 other ladies behind me. I definitely wasn't super speedy, but I did manage to keep a decent 8 minute pace to keep the lead. I finished in the same time as last week 24:05. Robyn finished as second female and Manda finished as fourth female. SB is having some issues with her leg/ankle, so she just walked it. Needless to say - that girl walks at a jogging pace. We went back to get her and bring her in and none of us could walk at her pace. We all had to break into a jog to keep up.
Overall it was a good race and if the weather hadn't been so yucky (rainy, cold, dreary and snow looming) I think they might have gotten a few more runners. This is a busy time for races though - I think there was a least two other races in the area.!
The rest of my day was really nice. I ran some errands and then came home to snuggle with my doggies, drink hot chocolate and watch the snow fall. Today I have some cleaning to do and then my FAVORITEST little trick-or-treater is coming to visit. I will be sure to take some pictures of that little cutie!
QOTD: What is the earliest snowfall you've experienced?
