The race is complete. It always is amazing how quickly a race goes. Yet while you're running it there are points where it seems like you will never get to the finish. As soon as the race started an extreme shot of adrenalin pumped through my body. I haven't felt anything like that since the days I competed at nationals in cheerleading. I started off very strong. I thought maybe to fast. I looked at Nike+ and was at a 7:45 min mile. Way to fast (Or so I thought). So I pulled back and tried to run a consistent race. Reflecting on my run, I realize I should have let myself go and not pull back so much. But you race and you learn. I am still very happy. Ended up 27:26 (according to Nike+) or 27:36 official. I am not sure why the Nike+ shows a faster time because I started the app before I even passed the starting line. I can't complain though, the time difference would not have effected my age group place. My goal was top 5 in my age group. I got 4th! Next year I want to win my age group. In 1 year I managed to shave 6 minutes off of my time. Back to training! Next race 1/2 marathon 10/12/14. "If you dream it, you can achieve it" Happy running!
