Senior Bowl Charity Run

We participated in the Senior Bowl Charity Run in Mobile, Alabama, last Saturday. The weather was perfect! It was a cool, clear morning in the upper 50's. We both had great runs. I "thought" I had a PR and was soooo excited until I realized my better run was earlier this year at the Navarre Run. Where has my head been...no comments on this, please! Okay, that's zero points for brain activity. But all you need for this sport is physical agility (I think I traded one for the other)! Anyway, this was a very flat course and still made pretty good time.

Click here to see the results. My good friend, Ginny, also did very well. She received 1st place in the Overall Female Masters group.

Here we are waiting for the Awards Ceremony.


I received 2nd place in the Overall Female Grand Masters group...that's one place better than last year (3rd place)! I'm now able to compare my runs since I became a serious runner one year ago in September. Until that time, I had only run a couple of races a year.

Here I am with my award.


Hope you can see the award. It's clear with pretty engraving. My red shirt is wrinkled because that's where I wear my iPod. I tuck in my shirt underneath it so please ignore that part. AND, don't look at the gut either!!! I love this shirt. The front asks, "Why Do I Run?" and the back answers, "Freedom". Don't you love this saying? It is so true for me!
