If you are not familiar with the Cupid's Chase, it's a race run in February (weather permitting) to support people with disabilities. This is my fourth year doing the race, and definitely the coldest!! I saw a friend from library school who was doing her first 5K (she finished strong), and another friend who is training for an Ironman triathlon came out to support and photograph me.
This has been an incredibly cold winter for us in NJ so far, and it was 20°F when the race started. Compared to previous years, it was a pretty small turnout, which always means I've got a chance at an Age Group award.
The Cupid's Chase is usually one of my slower 5K races (there is a long incline and the cold...brrrrr). I am happy to report that today I finished in 26:43, which is a course record for me. The results listed me as #2 in my age group (no medal), but I hung around anyway. The first place finisher in my age group was also the first woman overall to finish (go 48-yr-old!!), so imagine my excitement when I got bumped up for a medal!
