This week's race in the MRTC Road Race Series was the second 5 miler. And just like the first one, this race was really fun.
Staci and I ran together again. This time we took over a minute off of our time from 59:06 to 58:04. We only stopped to walk at the two water stops. The first stop was at mile 2 and the second stop was at mile 4.
I was so proud of Staci because she just kept pushing. I shouldn't be surprised though. After all she is an athlete. Running is my sport. Running is exercise for her sport (volleyball).
The best part of the race was the last 3/4 of a mile. A lady running beside us said "you two are gonna beat me again. I have been trying to catch you the whole race." She also told us we had a good pace. (And no I did not take credit for that, haha.) Staci picked it up a little and we didn't see that nice little lady again. After we passed a few other people we came up on a couple about a tenth of a mile from the finish line. And yeah, we smoked them. Staci finished strong again. The last 5 miler we passed a lady that was waving to everybody as she was coming up to the finish line. When she heard us coming she tried to take off. But it was too late. Yeah we smoked her too.
The weather was great for running. We were able to have a few laughs and enjoy our time away from our little monsters. But my favorite part of the day was when Staci finally agreed to get post-race donuts!
