Suzzana Perez is a relatively new runner with Team Teen, and yes her name is spelled with two z’s! Suzzana’s first race with us was the Thanksgiving Day 5K in The Woodlands which was alot of fun! It was perfect weather and Suzzana did great! This past weekend Suzzana ran the Jingle Bell run with Team Teen, however instead of doing a 5K, the race turned in to a 5 miler. It actually turned in to a 5 miler for all but 3 of the Team Teen runners. See, Suzzana and the rest of the group took off so fast, they ended up catching the back of the pack 5 mile runners that had left 5 minutes earlier. The person that was at the turn around point to direct the runners thought they were doing the 5 miler and thus did not tell them to turn around. Turned out to be really good for them though as they got in extra miles and really booked it since they thought they were only doing 3.1. Exciting day downtown for us!! Now, for a little more on Suzzana!!
