Here it is: I stink at keeping a second blog. But, I've been giving it a lot of thought, and I'm ready to recommit to posting here. My original thought was to share more of my "advice" about running. But, what do I really know? So, while I'll still continue to share things that I find work or don't, my main focus will be to keep this as more of a journal of my quest to complete some pretty big goals I have in the works for 2014. Oh, don't worry, I'll be sure to expand more on those later.
With one more race (well, technically two if you count the Girls on the Run 5K) left this year, I have had a great season of running and racing. I've run 4 half marathons this year, and set a PR 3 times. I wanted to make a perfect four for four, but it didn't happen at my last race. C'est la vie. I was bummed, but I think that's the nature of runners. Or is it just me? Not meeting a goal isn't really a failure. I still turned out a sub 1:50 time. I ran a great first 10 miles, but fell off the pace because I went out very hard trying to PR by almost a minute. It's all good. It gives me a great place to pick up next season (did I mention yet that I already registered for a 2014 race?).
I'm very excited to be ending the season at an overnight relay (my second of the year). It's a great race that I, unfortunately, had to miss out on last year, and I'm really looking forward to running again.
After that, I'm looking forward to sharing my plans for 2014! Until then...keep plugging along, one foot in front of the other.
