I've been running 5Ks in Nashville for about 7 years now and I'm progressively getting faster. It's been a long slow process for me. I have been able to increase about 15 to 30 seconds each year. This past Saturday, I set my fastest time for a 5K. 25 min 25 seconds for a pace of 8:05. I must be completely honest and admit that I hoped all the girls I saw finish in front of me were younger or older and I had somehow won my age group. I was imagining the prize to be a chocolate elephant or a giraffe head! But to my disappointment I was beat by none other than "christie beth adams". I say it this way because this girl beats me in every single 5K and not just by a little. If you notice, by an entire minute per mile! I don't know how she has time for all this running. And she always enters her name in all lowercase letters.
After a little research, I find that she is co-owner or something at Fleet Feet Sports here in Nashville. I guess the chocolate elephant will have to wait until she decides to move or have babies. :/
