Denver Rock and Roll run weekend

     This weekend I ended my running season with the Denver Rock and Roll races.  Saturday was the 5k.  Sunday was the half.  There was a 3rd medal earned for completing both, and of course I do it for the bling. ☺



     My results were satisfactory.  I am mainly interested in how I do compared with other women in the 65-69 age group.  For the 5k I was 3 out of 10.  For the half I was 8 out of 24. So I'm not the best, but not the worst, either.  I must keep working at this.
     In the half, there were 17 women in the 70-74 year-old group, 2 of which  were faster than me.  There was one woman in the 80+ age group.  There are so many inspiring people out there!
      I did pass barefoot Elvis, though.
