Gruene 10k / Gruene Day

 

We have been looking forward to the Gruene 10k (6.2 miles) for a couple months now. We had several friends coming with us from San Antonio, a day planned in Gruene, my mom to babysit Xia, etc. We were ready to exercise and party!

I met / surpassed my goal!! I completed the run in 48:52 (goal was btwn 50-54), and finished #6 in my age group (goal was in the top 10).  You can ready my full experience on my other blog http://eighteenweeks.blogspot.com/2011/09/gruene-10k-ended-week-9-with-bang.html

Gruene 10k stats:

• Finished in 48:52 / 7:52 pace
• Finished # 6 out of 70 in my age category
• Finished #15 female out of over 300
• Finished #62 overall out of 620 runners

After the 10k and post race festivities, we headed to one of the wineries in Gruene for some wine tasting. It was fabulous. We had a great time visiting and celebrating our accomplishments:) The rest of the group is outside on the patio. Forgot to get a picture of them...oooppps!! After wine tasting, we went to Gristmill for lunch... yummy! Oscar and i split their delicious ribs. I think I consumed more calories than I burned that day!
