Today I ran the Firecracker 5K on the sands of Daytona Beach. Running in the sand is quite different from running on the nice, paved roads. My legs were already a little sore from yesterdays 5K race, so I made sure to warm up a little extra today. The race started at 7:30, so the sun had not had a chance to really heat up by then, so the weather was great for running with the breeze coming off the ocean. Like yesterday, this was an out and back race so at the turn around I was able to see who was coming up on me. I already knew the girl that was out in the lead was too far to catch, so my goal was to stay in 2nd place and not let anyone pass me...well, that worked. I ended up 2nd female finisher, with a time of 22:08- about a minute faster that my time last year at the same race. I was happy with my finish, now I can rest until August sometime when I run my next race...unless my racing addiction gets to me before then! LOL!
Happy Running Ladies!
