Looks I may be the lone WISH'er racing tonight? Will you please add me for Friday, May 4th. I am doing a 2 mile race at our local minor league baseball team's game.

We are leaving from left field at the end of the 1st inning- it is a hilly course, so I hope to get through it! This is only my second ever race, so any pixie dust is appreciated.....


Thanks, and best of luck to all the other WISH'ers this weekend!
Lisa

Well, I did my 2 mile race tonight, and I felt really great about it.

It was the perfect night for a race- we started at the Altoona Curve Baseball Stadium. During the first inning, they had us waiting in an area by third base. After the inning was over, we all went out onto the field to start- we ran down the third base line, behind home plate, out past first base, and out of the ball field and into the neighboring amusement park (Lakemont.) From there it was a couple of loops in the park, and then up hill to the finish.

The start was FAST- everyone took off in a sprint, and I couldn't keep up right from the start. I was in last place right away, and even that was a pace that was fast for me. I felt like I was all by myself on the course until I started getting lapped by some of the 5-mile runners, but they were all cheering me on, which felt great! Then all of a sudden, I could see the finish line in the distance... and it felt like every step I took, they kept moving it further away from me! I realized I was ahead of 1 person, but right before I got to the finish line, she passed me. I just had nothing left. So, there it was- I was a dead last finisher (only by 5 seconds, but still.) I was bummed at first, but then I saw my official time.

I finished today in 21:34. This was my second race ever- my first one was on March 25, and I ran the 2 miles there in 23:38- so I took a full 2:04 off my time! This was by far the fastest I had ever run this distance, so I was pretty proud of myself for that. I felt good- tired, but good.

We ended up staying for the rest of the game, and enjoying the beautiful weather. All in all, a great race- one I will definitely do again!

PS- I wore my WISH shirt tonight, and had lots of comments on how bright it was, lol. Once the sun started going down a little, that shirt was practically glowing!
