3X Thanks: Half Marathon Results, NYPL, and Surprise Sale

Day 2 of my 21 days of posting three thankful thoughts.

Winning first place in my age group at the E Murray Todd Half Marathon last month. I guess I should say I'm grateful that the woman who actually ran the fastest in my age group placed fifth overall and was therefore removed from the age group rankings . . . giving me first place!

Results for this race:

Race Length	Finishing Time	5/10 mile Splits	Average Pace	Overall Place	Age Group Place (F25-29)
13.1 miles	1:35:58	37:12/36:46	7:20/mile	111/629	1/33

New York Public Library. Without access to this incredible library system, I'd either be choosing from the crummy selection available at the Jersey City library or personally financing Barnes & Nobles' financial recovery.

20% off sale at Loehman's. Sales are always nice, and surprise sales are even nicer! This one enabled me to replace two of my ratty crewneck blouses, so I can start going to work again without yellow armpit stains. Hurrah!
