monroe parker!
so, this evening was the make up for the meet postponed last saturday due to flooding. and i pr’d by over a minute and a half. 22:09 out, 20:28 in! i can so go under 20 this season. our girl’s team did awesome, and we placed 9th out of 28 teams that could place, although 2 only had a couple runners. so this was a great kickoff to the (almost) 5k racing season (: but saturday night...
