Day 130 (4/28): 4 miles / 28:26

Today was the Race at the Rock to benefit Flat Rock Homes.  Flat Rock provides residential care and therapies to children and adults with profound mental and developmental disabilities.  The day started with a special athletes race, which was followed up by a 4 mile race and a 1 mile walk.  Needless to say, it was an inspirational way to start my day.  For more info on Flat Rock Homes, go here.

I was thrilled with today's run and was glad to have a race under my belt before the marathon.  I was even more excited to see my split times... times I haven't come close to in many years... Mile 1: 7:23, Mile 2: 7:17, Mile 3: 7:00 and Mile 4: 6:46!  I finished 2nd place female and 7th overall out of 91 runners.  No doubt the number of runners at the marathon will be slightly more overwhelming, but I feel really good about where I'm at right now and I'm excited that the big day is now only 3 weeks away.

Bring it on!!!
