After spending the years since high school trying to find my athletic "niche" and not really ever feeling it...I finally decided to check out the triathlon world. So far, I'm lovin' it!

M.O.M's run 5k road race
Yesterday I ran the M.O.M's run 5k road race. I had set a goal for myself of coming in under 32 minutes. I ran hard the whole time and felt good pretty much the whole time, except when I was running up the big hill! Haha....but...I made my time! My final time was 31:57. Haha...I made it by 3 seconds! I am so happy that I reached my goal, and I am proud of myself because I see a difference between my running a few months ago and my running now. Not only am I faster, but I am also better able to think about how I am feeling during the run and adjust accordingly. In the past I would have just said to myself "I feel tired" and I would have slowed way down or walked...now, if I feel like crap I slow down for a few seconds, catch my breath, regroup and then speed back up, or I just run through it and it usually goes away. It's pretty cool to be able to do that now. Anyway, sorry this is a short post, but I have to get to work!
