Im sorry in advance for the long post but I have so much to share and be thankful for about my race today (5k). As much as I wanted to run the whole thing I knew it wasnt a realistic goal for me. So, I set out to beat my last race goal (which was a month ago) of run the first mile to run the first 1.5 miles and I did!!! As I was about to give in I told myself its your mind saying stop not your body and as I kept repeating that they had water and i was able to keep moving forward and then i thought of all of you and how I have the biggest fan section each time I get out and run. I managed to keep a 12ish min pace the whole race which I havent done consistently in my training runs...As I ran my final mile, tho I took a walking break I thought of Meg and who she ran for, I also thought of Rick and all those who cant run. I thought of our Soldiers as i saw the flag waving from the fire truck. It was at this moment I pulled myself together to finish the race not just running but strong. As i approached the finish line it was still under 40 mins and I gave it everything I had left in me and I got another PR!! Cant wait to see the official time cause I believe I knocked off about 2 mins, I was so happy I wanted to cry. Thanks for your cheers even when you dont know you are cheering. #5kracedaywithmysister #megsmiles #runningforapurpose #paddysroadraceMA
