Liz and I ran our first 10K together. This was a week after she garnered 3rd overall female finisher in the LOGjam 5K at Centennial Park. She ran that one alone, but this race was twice the distance, and 3500 people! So I decided to run it with her.

Liz and I started the race together and ran the whole thing together. At the starting line, she got all the way up to the front with the professional runners. It was a good day to run, just a few days removed from the Boston Marathon where there was a bombing. Liz said she wanted to run for the victims in Boston, especially an 8 year old that was killed.

Liz ran hard the whole race. The other runners made lots of positive comments to Liz on the course, about her shirt and how awesome of a runner she was. Coming to the finish line, Liz picked up her pace and finished strong. She finished first place in her age group with a time of 51:38. Congratulations, Liz.
