It has once again been forever since I posted last! Sheesh.
You may or may not know that I started running last year around the beginning of summer. In June I ran my 1st 5K, it was a Warrior Dash. It was amazing!!! It actually got me pumped to run more! Since the WD, I ran a 4 1/2mi trail race (VERY tough), the Betsy Smith 5K my husband & I participated in a Duathlon. I ran 2 miles, tagged him, he biked for 13 miles then tagged me & I finished it off with another 2 mi run. We did great! Our goal was to finish in 2 hours, and we came in just under 2 hours! We rocked for first timers, if I may say so myself! :) My favorite run was the Gettin on Track by the Mt. Zion Trackbackers. This one is dear to my heart. My friend from HS, Mark, used to run cross country & died several years ago. They have started this race in his memory to help raise money for an all weather track for the HS. I was so ready to run this one! I have at this point managed to not win any medals, just receive participants medals. I wanted to win something! I ran the race, found my pace, thought of my friend Mark & said it was for him. I came in 2nd place for my age group! There were at least 3 in my age group & I am sure plenty more than that. My age group always seems to be the biggest age group. I was super excited to take 2nd place!!! It was a beautiful course, with some hills, but they were slow inclines. The wind was pretty strong that day. But I ran it & gave it my all. I can't wait to run it again this fall! I just may take 1st! haha
