Race season starts this weekend!!! (for me anyways lol)
I’m running the Strides for Mental Health 5k tomorrow. It starts and finishes right downtown … about 10 minutes away from my house. This was the first race I ever ran! Not to mention my sister ran it with me… it was a blast!!
I will be running this year’s race alone as my sister is still away at college, but throughout my first year of running I met a few people and now I don't feel so alone anymore when I head to races by myself! :)
Heading into my second year of racing, it has made me look back on my first year… my “firsts”, my PR’s, lessons I’ve learned…
Let’s just say that I have learned A LOT! Now, I’m not really one to really voice goals… I mean… I kinda sorta have them, but I dont really make them known… something about failing… and not really trying hard enough… BUT…
this year I WILL run a sub 25 5k!!
I dont really think I’m up to that point yet, but the season is long ;)
BRING IT ON!! ;)
Good luck and have fun!!!
