I placed 4th at last week's Run With Santa 5K. I missed 3rd by 1 second and 2nd by 27 seconds. :-( I really didn't race it very smart and definitely could have shaved those seconds off - I ran the turkey trot over a minute faster...<br /><br />Thanks for linking up!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-33895985541585265662017-12-08T10:22:51.505-06:002017-12-08T10:22:51.505-06:00Interesting race!

You really have no chance if you are one of the older ones within a 20 year span (which is what they do sometimes). Aside from that, you look cute and it was a worthy cause.
