What a gorgeous day for a race!!! In the 60s and sunny with a breeze – 4028 women – all excited to be part of this event!!!.  I met Pat & Mary Pat, my tennis friends there and also bumped to 2 former AHN students and law prof.

We started the race  with 25 minute finishers group so it was several minutes before crossing the starting line and it took quite awhile with the crowd to get into a decent pace. 

 I felt great the whole way – ran it all and when I crossed the finish line, the timer said 35:05 minutes.  I felt like I was running a lot faster than that, though.

Me at the 2009 Freihofer's Run

After the race, we got our cookies, hung out for awhile and then headed to Panera’s for brunch where we bumped into several other Freihofer runners.

Looking forward to my next race!!
