I Won Without Winning

Saturday, September 25

The Women's Distance Festival is an annual 5K event for women only to benefit Interact. Even though I do not like running 5ks. I love this race. I sign up for it every year.

The main reason I love The Women's Distance Festival is because the energy at this race is amazing. This race is the first event for a group of women who complete a 10 week training program to run their first race, a 5k. I enjoy mingling and listening to the amazing stories of these women and how they got to the starting line. Starting to run is life changing for many them.

I have run this race every year since 2007. My course record was set in 2008. In 2008, I completed the course in 25:58. For the last 2 years, I have wanted to set a new course record for myself. This year I completed the course in 28:36.

I do not know if I will ever set a new course record for myself. However, I will definitely sign up for this race again next year!
