Steamboat Classic

After 2 years of saying I'll run the Steamboat Classic, I finally did it!!




It was a fairly nice day... a little humid, but not too hot, and there was a lovely breeze coming thru every once in a while (Or maybe that was just cause I was running so fast HAHAHA). I ran most of the 4 miles alone, just the way I like it.. Just me and my music! Although, at some point, I think I could have used the little birdie in my ear saying RUN NOW!! I shouldn't doubt myself, but I feel like I could have pushed just a little bit harder in some places!


Waiting to start the race!


I wanted to finish in under an hour (Travis thought I could finish in 57 mins).. but ended up finishing in 1:01:13... For a 15:18 pace per mile! Started out the race at at 16:16 pace for the first 2 miles.. ended with a 14:20 pace for the last 2 miles. (Which is a lot closer to what I should be) I'm a little frustrated that I didn't finish faster, but overall, I'm happy with everything!


Post Race with Cody and Stacy!


Soo... With Steamboat behind me, I've gotta refocus on getting back to losing weight, and continue working on my running! As much as I hate the thought of running, I feel so great afterwards!! So I need to keep going... Just keep putting one foot in front of the other!!
