First

Official 5k of the year down! For some reason I had the song Long Shot- specifically the Katy Perry version- stuck in my head the ENTIRE race.
"It's a long shot but I say why not? If I say forget it, I know that I'll regret it...so take a loooong shot".
That line over and over and over. With minimal training, lame as it sounds, it got me through the race with a PR that cut off three minutes. I took 2nd place in my age division, and 8th place in women overall.
Other line going through my head as I was running?
"Why the heck am I running Cross Country??"
I feel great after racing, can't wait to wear my shoes out this summer.
