I Love Racing!

The stress fracture in my foot has kept me from running the last 6 weeks and I was signed up to do a half marathon this weekend, and against my better judgement I traded my half mary chip for my friends 10km chip...I just wanted to get out and race...feel the energy of everyone out there and have some fun...and I totally did!!

The thing about not having great expectations is there's not pressure, so I was just going out for a run! I saw some friends before it started, and hung out with my sister! Then the Gun Went Off, and what can I saw...I couldn't control myself I just wanted to run as hard as could that morning! And it was so fun...before I knew it the first mile had gone by! I was keeping a pretty solid pace for me (it helped that the course was totally flat, the weather was great, and there were amazing people out there cheering)! So I finished pretty fast and it would have been even faster if I didn't have to take a pit stop at the 7km mark!!

And the best part was my family was waiting for me at the finish line...so I got to hang out with my husband and son...cheer on my sister and mom...and chat with my friends! It was a great day!

Then we headed home for some lunch before a short walk around the river!

Greg got on a plane to China this morning. Max and I are sad he had to leave, but it's only 6 weeks and we will be meeting up with him in Kamloops where the team is training for 6 weeks! So today's been a little sad, but the time will fly...Max and I just have to stay super busy because time flies when you're having fun!!
