apologies....

Alright, I've had a couple of people ask what my time was. Let me clarify, first, however.

I won the race because there was maybe 10 women tops in the race. I am proud of the win, but the time was nothing to brag about. I have a long ways to go in order to get back into the shape that I want to be in. My time, for the record was 50 minutes and a handful of seconds. I wasn't even really sure, to be honest and I can't find the results online. I'm shooting for 42ish, so I need to knock more than a minute off of each mile.

I'm sorry for being a sore winner, I know that many people would love to run that time. I guess it is like Sten used to say, if you put forth your best attitude and effort, that is all you can ask for. It is not fair to act bummed out when perhaps somebody you beat gave it there all but just couldn't match up to you.

I hope this post clarified why I was bummed out. :) Time to head to school for a little while; parent-teacher conferences this week!
