Awesome. I guess walking two miles almost every day for the past couple of months helped. My best time ever was 1 hour 17 minutes that I set five years ago. I tried to beat that record and came pretty close. I told myself that if I walked 20 minute miles I would be happy so to do 16:03 minute miles was great! As long as I did better than 2006 (the last year I participated in the Women's Run). That year, I couldn't even finish. I don't even think I did three miles before petering out. I am usually pretty tenacious but that was one of the few times I quit. I needed to get that image out of my head.

And I did.
