Faster 10K time

Today, I raced in the Rodes City Run in Louisville, Kentucky.  It is the second race in the Triple Crown of Running.  I chose this race because it has a substantial wheelchair division.  There were five of us total for the first two races.

Just before the Anthem 5K Fitness Classic 
I was very glad when I came to the first of the Triple Crown races (the Anthem 5K Fitness Classic) on February 27, because there was another female competitor.  In that race, Tina Vogel and I were very close, but I beat her by only ten seconds.  Today, she beat me by a full three minutes!  Now we are even, and I am looking forward to the last race in the series to see who wins.  I am still glad, even though I
came in second, because I ran my fastest 10K time, (my personal best of 36:24).  That time is a full two minutes faster than my previous record from the Bluegrass 10,000 last summer in Lexington, which was 38:29!  I asked the Lord for a good race, and He has given it to me.

Psalm 65
5 You answer us with awesome and righteous deeds,
    God our Savior,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
    and of the farthest seas,
6 who formed the mountains by your power,
    having armed yourself with strength,
7 who stilled the roaring of the seas,
    the roaring of their waves,
    and the turmoil of the nations.
8 The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
    where morning dawns, where evening fades,
    you call forth songs of joy.
