great VIFL 14K Bandit Run 8.49 mi 01:28 10:19 pace

I tried to register for this 14K, but it was sold out. So, I decided to go bandit. I'm so glad I did b/c this is a PB for me at this distance! I spent the entire race trying to hide behind other people so I wouldn't get caught. I think it motivated me to go faster! Lol! It was such a fun time. Ran past Corinne M around mile 2. She was looking strong and shouted encouragement my way, thanks CM! Then, I saw Lou Ann W. as we entered the amphitheater part of the course. She looked great! When I got to run Lover's Lane, I ran with our friend Bobby, and told him not to tell Neal T. :) A big thank you shout out goes to Jeremie H. for coming out and cheering us on, you rock! I saw him at key points of the race and it helped me stay strong. At Candy Curve, I realized because CM did the relay that she wouldn't get any M&M's for the 3rd year in a row. So, I grabbed her a cup and held on tight to the finish so I could give them to her. :) Neal & Jeremie were waiting for me at the 8.5 mark, so I veered off and finished then so I wouldn't get caught if crossing the finish line. So glad I got to do this with everyone. It was great seeing Kate H., Nicole R., Maryanne G., Jon Flex L., Christine L., Kim S. and Mike before the race! Splits: 10:13, 10:13, 10:26, 10:22, 10:18, 10:19, 10:20, 10:25 and 10:17 for last .49.
