Happy Birthday Running Feet!!!!!
Wow Where to begin...
Today marks my 1 year of running.
In that one year I have completed 6 races (2 5Ks, 1 12K and 3 Half Marathons). I can not even begin to explain how this past year has changed and shaped who I am as a person. I have accomplished more in this past year than I can even fathom. It has been and amazing and emotional year and I am looking forward to year 2. I won't get all sappy... but thank you to everyone who has helped along the way. And special thanks to those who had second thoughts about my goals... it is because of yall that I pushed harder just to prove a point. What can I say, I an stubborn.
You may have noticed I said in the past year I have completed a 12K. It is a recent accomplisment as of this morning. I decided to run the Geico Road Race to celebrate this special occasion.
Running a 9am race gave me a deadline of 2 hours to finish the hilly 12K course before I needed to head in the direction of my work. I am happy to say that I completed it with time to spare. I will have the official race review on Tuesday but just know that I did decently and had unexpected company along the way.
Total with my warm up mileage I finished the morning with 8.25 miles. I decided to go on a leisurely walk with my husband tonight in order to hit the 10 mile mark for the day.
And Now I am tired. Yippie for a day off tomorrow!
