Thanks for the well wishes, everyone!
LRB - my Dad was 49 when I showed up and Mom was 37. DH's dad was 57 and his mom was 42 when he showed up! Talk about surprised!
Oski - I am a big Tolkien fan, which is why I chose the handle to describe my lack of stature rather than EwokLegs or SomewhatSwiftMidget. . I dressed as Frodo for Halloween a couple of years back.
Good job. Be sure to check on Chattanooga area races, including the 7 Bridges Marathon & 1/2 Marathon. Also the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon & 1/2 Marathon. Both are in late Fall.
For fun, scenic, budget races, check out the Tennessee State Parks Running Tour. It's a Saturday series (21 races) running October - March.
Entry fees vary slightly but you can enter most races for $20 w/shirt and $6 for race entry only. These races are great. And they always start at 11:00 am local time.
Back to your race on Saturday - that was a good job in tough conditions. Sounds like you guys/girls had a great time though.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check these out for sure. I love the Chattanooga area!
