It's beyond amazing where a pair of running shoes can take you when you couple them with hard work, determination, and the will to win! Well, on Saturday, Brittany laced up her Nike's, along with her college teammates, and competed in the Memphis Twilight cross country race. It was the largest nighttime cross country meet in the South. Chris, Abby, and I waited nervously for the phone to ring for an update on how she ran.
Finally, the phone rang around 11PM and we all jumped! Chris and Abby got on one phone and I got on another. Brittany sounded almost giddy...GOOD sign! She told us that she set a new PR of 19:02! WHAT??? I could hardly believe it, so I asked her to repeat it just to make sure I'd understood her correctly. Yes...that's the fastest time she's ever completed a 5K in since she's been a runner! I can't begin to tell you how thrilled we were with what she'd accomplished! All she kept saying is, "I am so HAPPY!" She placed 50th out of 256 runners! Sure wish we could have been there in person to celebrate with her!
I have a very strong feeling that this is only the beginning of more record-breaking moments! The sky's the limit!
