Harvest Moon Run

Howdy! Time for a race recap. I have to be brief because I have a microbiology exam in a few hours. EEK.

The race was on Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and it was about 40* outside. Brrr. The elevation and hills were crazy! (You can see the elevation chart on the race logo above.)

I did the 10 mile race with my boyfriend’s uncle and my little sister did the 5k.

Hannah is rubbing her face and I am looking to the left. Cute.

I over dressed way too much! I was so hot by the 3 mile mark that I took off my gloves, ear warmer, and unzipped my jacket. You live and learn.

Because the race was not even a mile from the Pittsburgh Airport, I had fun watching planes land and take off the whole time! I also listened to people talking because I was by myself for most of the race.

Hannah finished the 5k and got 3rd in her age group. WOOOOT!

After surfacing from a giant hill, I finished and placed 1st in my age group (4th woman overall) for the 10- miler.

Distance= 10 miles Chip time= 1:20:48 Pace= 8:05

My GPS distance= 10.21 miles time= 1:20:50 Pace= 7:55

*****

I will admit that when I signed up for the race I was mostly excited to learn that warm apple crisp would be served afterwards. SCORE. 

Jimmy came to watch and cheer us on as well… thank you Jimmy ❤

Off to tackle this microbiology test.. happy Monday!

She made me touch her tumor

People have been working on putting new doors and trim in my family’s house the past two days… So I decided to get some peace and quiet at the local library.

I guess i’m a nerd because I really like going to the library!

Anyways… I have a big economics test today and I’ve been studying hardcore. I recruited my mom to quiz me as well.

Thanks mom! (Even though she was reading the newspaper and ignoring me haha she didn’t even know I took this.)

Funny stores in my life: I run outside in the morning just as the local high school kids get on the bus. Well a bus full of high school kids stopped for me… like the bus driver thought I was getting on. Oh boy haha. Maybe he thought I was running to catch the bus… in workout clothes… before school?

Random picture of me running..

Second funny story: The woman who unlocks the pool at the gym I go to has to get a non cancerous tumor removed from her thigh in a few weeks. Today she made me feel her tumor… and I did. Hahaha.. so random!!!

Okay… seriously going to study instead of waste time blogging 😉

Have a great Friday!
