Racing is Definitely a Blast!
My second 5k race is in the books, yay! I ran in the 11th Annual South Daytona 5k Run, to benefit Childhood Cancer Awareness this morning which scored me a nice t-shirt, a warm feeling that I’m helping out the children and a new PR, 5k = 29:23! That’s down 13 seconds from my previous 5k, I know I know it’s only 13s…. but it’s the little things! Right?!
So that’s enough of the racing for now, the Daytona Grand Prix series has a 10 miler in November but I think I’m going to skip the rest of the series and focus on the marathon, that’s my main goal not the grand prix. Running a full marathon is no joke and needs all my attention from here out, it’s only 15 weeks away and in that time I have to go from running 6 miles to running 26! I’ll gladly admit that racing is definitely a blast, even if you’re only racing yourself and with what I’ve done so far, at least I know what to expect on race days. Though I have this sneaking suspicion that all of this changes when I push the mileage from 3.1 up to 26.2. Ya think?
Bring it on!
