Vineyard Run and New PR


On Friday night my mom asked me if I wanted to run the vineyard race with her. My Saturday was going to be quite busy with Allie having Orchestra All District Tryouts and then a soccer game but then again both of those got cancelled due to her being sick with Strep throat. So with the activities cancelled I agreed to run this race with my mom. The Vineyard race was in Grapevine Texas at the Delaney Vineyard (this is where the race started and ended). Along the way there were a couple of hills who would of thought of that looking at the race map. I had my plan in my head that I was going to walk/run. I started out trying to run a whole mile without stopping but fell short of that (there is always next time). I didn't really time the walk/run intervals I was mainly relying on how I felt. I could see my mom up ahead of me and I actually caught up to her again a little bit before the last mile. The last part of the race was downhill so I took advantage of that and pulled ahead of my mom. I finished the race at 39.40 chip time (Nike + 39.39).
