I got into fitness a little over 13 years ago, at first I just wanted to lose 20-25 lbs so I began strength training & then quickly followed it with running. Shortly after, I started running & since then I've ran hundreds of 5k's, 10k's, 15k's, 13.1 and 26.2 mile races and still maintain my strength training. My hope is to help others discover a love for fitness, finding a lifetime commitment to a healthy lifestyle they can grow with.

I didn't win a trophy this morning, I definitely wasn't feeling it but it wasn't a bad run. My garmin got to 3.1 about a minute faster than I got to the finish, it has 25:40 with an average pace of 8:17 min/mile. The clock timed me at 26:39 with an average pace of 8:36 min/mile, a bit slower than last weekend but I am not going to fret about it, I just wasn't feeling this morning. My splits were:Mile 1 - 8:33Mile 2 - 8:10Mile 3 - 8:13.1 - 7:32 Definitely not as badass as last weekend's race, but I think my body just needs a rest from running hard. I am going to try and take it easy on the next few days, especially on the runs. Anyways, my results were:Overall: 102nd of 389Female: 25th of 203F25-29: 8th of 27 So even though I didn't get a trophy, I still did really well, just 7 females away from AG 1st place and that is alright. I was expect worse, or not as good I should say and so I am pleased with the overall results. Strange though, my bib number is 1002, and I was seeing bib numbers as high as 2200 yet there were only 389 finishers........... but I guess that is good thing otherwise I'd probably be closer in the overall of 300+ and so on. My sister fell back just before mile 2, she finished with a time of 27:33, average pace of 8:55 min/mile and her results were:Overall: 120th of 389Female: 33rd of 203F25-29: 10th of 27I think this September she will no longer be in my age group lol.
