The gal who got 1st was almost two minutes ahead of me....so as long as she's running this event, she probably has that spot secured.

I ran in the Firecracker 5K on Independence Day morning, and finished in 25:20 which gave me 4th place out of 59 women in my age group (55-59) and 92nd out of 781 women. Our age group winner finished in 20:15 - wow, just wow!<br /><br />I can't wait to read about your 12-hour ultra race!<br /><br />Thanks for linking up!
