Well, its Friday again!  I haven’t talked to everyone since my half marathon.  Despite my training not being as rigorous as I would have liked it to be, I had a great time!  I came in at 2 hrs and 56 sec.  Not great, but I’ll take it!  It felt awesome to get back in the racing environment.  I started off slow and a bit more cautious to not wear my self down but around mile three I was feeling great so amped it up.  The route was beautiful–a lot of quick, steep, hills but we ran along the water and past some beautiful homes most of the time which made it go by a little faster.   In the miles that got a little harder…for me it was mile 7 to 9…a quote that I actually saw on Pinterest would pop into my head…. “Someday I won’t be able to do this.  Today is not that day.”  Something about those words have really stuck with me and is the perfect beat in my head when the miles got long and pushed me to catch up to the person in the distance.  It helped!

Well, another half under my belt.  Whenever I get done with a race it makes me want to go sign up for another right away!  I haven’t decided which one yet, but there are a TON to choose from during summers in Minneapolis : )  Any suggestions??

Happy Weekend!
