vernal ras
Apparently, I haven't yet done up a table for my St. Patrick's Day runs. These are usually my first outdoor runs of the year.
Weight-loss certainly helped, but give more credit to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sirhc_warrior for motivating me to keep up. pheromone and [Hathor] came by to cheer, but were too late because I finished earlier than expected.
A great first race for Sirhc. They gave out medallions on ribbons as the finisher pins. Kinda suckful for volunteers, pheromone could only get into venues with us bib-enabled. No mile splits. Although, had I known I was going so fast, I might've slowed, so perhaps that was lucky.
As it turned out, had I been running closer to my old pace, I might've seen an old family friend (who is possibly the nicest person I know). We bumped into her after the ras, during an unsuccessful misson to find free scones.
I did manage to find scones at a private tea party later, along with a footrub. Thanks totrg and hotpoint!
