Today I ran my first half race of the summer. It was a great race. We had the perfect weather, cloudy and overcast! I PR'd and cut 5 minutes from my time at this race last year.
I know I can do much better next time since I felt like I had a lot of energy even after crossing the finish line, but this race was much more a test of pace than overall speed. I ran all but a half a mile of this race which is a major accomplishment for me.
During training last year as soon as my mind told me I couldn't I was done and I walked. This year I want to be able to run the entire 26.2 and I really think that is attainable after my performance today.
I also got to meet Megan of http://meganmichellejourney.blogspot.com/ for the first time in real life today. She is a good friend of Bailey's, but we have connected through our blogs and instagrams since we share some similar weight loss struggles, but are both on the journey to overall health. Megan recently became an Avocare distributor, so if you need product be sure to go her way!
It was so great to have a running buddy for the first few miles of the race. We stayed at about a 10:20 mile for the first 4, then we separated, but let me tell you having someone to run with makes running a million times more enjoyable.
Thanks MEGAN! Can't wait to connect again soon :)
Great job to everyone who competed today!
XOXO,
