Toots and Sally Ride Again

Boy did I mis TAS!

Well, I ran my 1st 10k EVER this past weekend, the Mitchell Lake Bird Lover’s 10k.  I found out that this year was only the 2nd annual Bird Lover’s 10k, so it’s a relatively new race in San Antonio (no wonder I had never heard of it before…).  Not only did I truly enjoy this racing distance, but the course was really nice too.  Only about 3/4 of a mile was actually road, the rest was easy trail (nothing treacherous), mainly flat with some gentle slopes, and the occasional alligator sighting (don’t ask…I thought I was supposed to be watching for birds…).  The weather was really nice too, almost a little to warm (low 50’s), but good enough for me.  With a 1:03 finishing time, I ended up placing 6th in my age group, not sure how many there were actually in my age group, they only posted the top 10.  I didn’t think that was very fast, but I’ll take it!  :)  Like I said, I really enjoyed this racing distance…I forsee a few more 10k’s in my future.
