First 5K in my 50s

Yikes! Did I actually admit to being in my 50s?
It seems so strange, because I certainly don't feel 50. But here I am.
Saturday I ran the One Love, One Heart 5K at Medlock Park in Decatur with my friend Erin.

Erin and me ready to run

I've run this race for years, since it is about 3 miles from my home. This race used to be in February around Valentine's Day, but several years ago it got moved to the first weekend in December.
This year's race was overcast and cool, about 41 degrees, but it was also a bit breezy, so it felt colder.  Note the gloves in the photo! It threatened to rain, but never did.
I did get to wear my new Skirt Sports capris. I bought several items from Skirt Sports with my birthday cash.
I didn't feel like I was running my best during this race. I hadn't run in 2 weeks and my legs felt a little sluggish. But when Erin and I got to the finish, I realized we had run a nice race.
I didn't win in my new age group, but that's OK.
I'm smart enough to be grateful to be in a new age group. Honestly, I feel younger, and I hope I always remain young at heart.
