Today was the Avon Road Race (5K). I didn't run it, I helped out because it benefits Danny's school, and it was fun being part of that. We love the Road Race every year because the course runs through our neighborhood and we live on the big hill of the race and can encourage the runners as they climb! I just wanted to write about it because it really got me pumped up for my training! I've only run a few 5K's - to be honest, I don't love them! I always hate the first 3 miles of every race because it takes me that long to get into my groove. I'm so much better as an endurance runner - I'm definitely not fast! I am in awe of the first several people who trickle to the finish line, seemingly just minutes after the gun! They were so fast today - I think the winner ran it in just over 16 minutes... yikes! It was an amazing event and we raised $18,000 for our PTO which is fantastic! Some great runners today - I am truly inspired!
So my 20 weeks of training starts tomorrow. Now that school is almost over I will have more time for running. I'm excited that my responsibilities (preschool room mom, various PTO committees, etc.) are coming to a close so I can focus more on my goal. Life has gotten very busy, and the first thing I tend to neglect is my running. Gotta change that!
