Bling! Bling! Hello? Who is it?
It's me, the proud owner of my first ever running medallion.
Today was St Mary's South 8k Fun Run.
This is a terrific community event. I say a bit more about it here.
For me personally, I was really happy with my race, even though it turns out I ran faster in 2007; back then I had the speedy Thalia pushing me hard through to a quick finish. Today I went out solidly and kept increasing my speed, dropping off runners along the way. I like to go out at a comfortable pace, then pass others rather than them me. It worked: no-one went past me after 500m and I targeted about twelve runners to catch.
My time of 37:43 got me 3rd place in 50-59 group, an engraved medallion and a photo up on the podium. How cool is that?
It really is a great event to get to: $10 entry with stacks of benefits.
It was great to catch up with regular CR's KatierR, slowmc, BeesKnees and meet Lotsahare, Bert, greyhoundracer and Freezer.
I hope they post the photos soon...

You gotta love bling. My one and only place medallion was in a Sri Chinmoy 5k race a couple of years ago, 2nd place in the 50+ group. There was no third place medal awarded, so I'm guessing I was 2nd out of 2!
