Each year, I set a goal to accomplish at least one hard physical feat which is usually a half marathon or other road race. I met that goal! Two weeks ago I ran the Race the Reserve Half Marathon on Whidbey Island. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect racing weather. My goal was under two hours, I missed it by one second according to my watch. SO CLOSE! I am still really happy with my time considering that I took two weeks off of running right in the middle of my peak training.
To make a good weekend even better, Kristin, Alan and Spencer came up from Portland so Alan could race as well. He was way too speedy for me to beat him. :) It was a lot of fun to have them up here. I am loving having a sister close by.
Running has been a source of strength for me. It helps me relief stress and to deal with tough situations. It reminds me that I can accomplish my goals, that I can do hard things.
So proud of you!
