hey, I ran the race.  I did not jam out at the last minute, I ran it.  It was great and I am super motivated to run another and get closer to my old times.  I ran 19:40 for 5km and came first woman, second overall.  Admittedly, it was a small race but whatever- it was a boost.  Yay!  Someone took a picture and if I get my hands on it I will put it up.
