Work Hard, Play Hard 10K (Saturday, September 2, 2023)

My first 10K ever! That's me in the cute red skirt, in a tribute to the August Red Dress Run. 

We ran from park to park along the San Gabriel River in Georgetown. Ah, memories! About 39 years ago here at Blue Hole 6-year-old Ryder and his Uncle Martin jumped off the cliff (20 feet? 30 feet?) into the river. The city has long since banned jumping. Sigh. The cliff isn't in the photo.

Oh happy sign!

I was the last on to finish. 6.2 miles in 1:54. Very slow 3.1 mph. Going to have to speed it up for the Half Marathon in Charleston in January! 

I love the medal design. Given that I was the only person in the 70-79 age group, I guess I'm first in my group even though I was last in the run??? There were only 69 runners.
