Final results for last Sunday's race just posted

And I finished third in my age bracket!!! How much does that rock? I was so excited. I've been steadily moving up the rankings since I started racing seriously a year ago, but this is the first time I've actually placed in the awards. I was even more pleased to see that the two women who finished ahead of me in my age bracket beat me by less than a minute. It's nice to see progress with my racing.
Overall I finished 20th out of 81 women, which is definitely not too shabby. I'm glad I decided to go ahead a run this race.
This morning's run went well, even though I was exhausted and didn't really want to get up and get going. I did a three miler on the treadmill. I've pretty much decided that I'm only going to do three miles a day from now until December. I've not yet picked a spring marathon, but I'm probably going to go ahead and start training anyway come December.
I figure I can always pick a marathon as I get closer to the spring racing season. I may just be a big sissy and run St. Louis again. I love running out of town races, but sometimes it's just so much easier to run here in town. More people that I know personally are able to show their support, and it's definitely more cost effective. If I do decide to travel, I'm considering Flying Pig, Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon, or who knows what else might peak my interest. I think that St. Louis is the earliest out of the three of these, so I'll be okay regardless of how things go.
I'm hoping that by cutting my mileage back a bit, my legs will get to feeling normal. I've been having some right foot issues lately. I'm really not sure what's going on or why it's going on, but I hope it stops soon. I'm having issues like I normally have when my shoes are old, but my shoes are less than a month old, and only have about 100 or 150 miles on them. Hmmm, maybe it's the running faster that's causing my issues?
