Leftovers

My Thanksgiving break is almost over and I have 3 more weeks left of school for the year. While I have been reflecting on my year during Thanksgiving break, I spent my Thanksgiving morning running the Turkey 8K race. The weather wasn't too bad and there was a big turnout of people at the event. I didn't win the race in my age group but I did set a new record for myself. The time I came in around was 33:31, which means my pace was about 6 minutes and 40 seconds. 

On Saturday, I also found myself running 13.2 miles. Originally, the goal I set for myself was 10 miles but I found myself pushing myself to do 3 more miles.  I have only 2 more weeks before the Gulf Coast Marathon so I feel ready. I may not be able to complete a marathon by the end of this year but I feel confident about finishing one more half marathon to end the year strong. 

I have been fortunate enough to bounce back from my foot injury in the middle of the year and continue to do what I love. I don't know if I will ever complete or compete in a marathon, but each day I am taking it a step a time. Not competing with anyone but trying to catch up to the best person I know I can be someday.
