Dansville Jingle Bell Run 5K (Or The one where I placed)

This was probably my favorite.  It was their first year, but it was good.

Checked in, and got a bag of goodies, along with what I thought was a fleece blanket, but later realized was a hat, scarf and gloves.

Then waited a bit, and finally people started getting ready to run.

Talked a bit to Jeanne whom I had ever so briefly seen at the Turkey Trot.

And then we were off!
Well, I knew I could do 9's so this time I aimed for a pace in the 8's.  And kept it up without much of any problem!

And that finish line sprint was great, I went past a number of people, including one guy I started out behind and he went ahead a few times.

Then, went inside, got a water and they had a pancake breakfast as well.

Then they were posting the times pretty quickly and I looked but didn't see my name where I thought it would be.  No...  I can't be up higher on the list...  Sure enough, quite a bit faster than I thought!
Well, where did I place this time...  Huh?  I can't be reading this right...  Really?  Did I just place 3rd in my age group?!
Wowzers! I guess I'll stick around and get my free jar of peanut butter!  (:
