well, i didn't finish last

today was the 12k i've been gearing up for. my friend katie and i ate lots of pasta, elevated our feet, took a nap, prayed for cloud-cover; all the things i could think of. we were hoping to finish the race in under 1.5 hours. amazingly enough i finished in an hour and ten minutes and.............. in SECOND PLACE! katie got third place and we're splitting the winnings - 1500 pesos for each of us. i haven't competed in anything in a really long time, so a great sense of accomplishment has been with me since this afternoon. thanks for the prayers!
