This morning we got up early and headed to Castlewood for the Skippo 10K race. We place plastic skulls on cardiac hill for the runner's viewing pleasure. We had plenty time to warm up. It was in the sixties. I started out fast on the flats then walked the stairs and hills. I finished first in my age group. Kathy was second and Jim was 5th. It was a good race for all.
When we lined up at the start I looked around and noticed a number of young women with makeup on. Does mascara make you run faster? Do they have that much extra time in the morning that they can put makeup on? Who are they trying to impress? Do people look at me a think "she would look so much better wearing makeup"?
Running two marathons this year has given me a new perspective on distance. 10K seems short.
