I have been running some, but not consitently. I was excited to see how I was going to do in it. I have been pushing myself, slightly. The race is small, not too many people in it. I was incredibly pleased with my time!
I ran 6.2miles in 57:38:2 mins!!! I have NEVER averaged running this fast in this distance!!! That is a 9:17/mile!!! THEN, I looked at the results....
I was FOURTH in my age group!!!! YAY!!!! This is not the full age group list since there are others who had not yet finished in my age group, but I was FOUTH!!! WOO HOOO!!!!
The idea of being in a race is really overwhelmingly positive and encouraging. To top it off I did so well :) I got home and I was SO happy... a runner's high if you will.
Running is good. Running is hard. Running is rewarding!
Every time I run a "longer" distance, I am amazed that I EVER ran (and trained) for a marathon (and two half's). This was not easy, but it was SO worth it!!!
Today, I am SO happy with what my body can do for me and the support and ecouragment from my friends and family.
