10K
I had the most amazing morning!
I ran the Monument Avenue 10K in 51 minutes, 12 seconds. I was doing 8:15 miles!!! I am so proud of myself! Lemme gloat: in my division (females 20-24-- so all those little college girls) there were 771 runners and I finished in 70th! I was 491st for females and 2,152nd overall!!! (Keep in mind there were over 12,000 runners total!)
I would love to do the VA beach 1/2 marathon, but I will not be able to train in India for that. Running in India involves waking up at 4:30am, fending off wild dogs and monkeys with rocks, wearing pants in 100+ heat, and ignoring the stares of the stunned ("Did a white girl just run by???"). I could do it if it wasn't for the wildlife.
