Last week the kids returned from their vacation to Disney with Dad and I spent the week working out with weights, resistance bands and my trusty yoga ball, at home. Oh, and running.....running the kids to school, running to work, running to soccer games (yes plural), running to the grocery store, running home to make dinner, do homework and sleep! :) Unfortunately, I didn't fit in any real running this past week. But that will all change come Tuesday.
Tuesday will be my first run since the Suncrest half, and I am looking forward to getting back out on the road. This will not only be my first run since last week's half marathon, but also my first run training for my next half marathon. It will be a nice and easy run, probably 4 miles, but I can't wait to tie those shoes and hit the pavement!
And yes, I did say my next half marathon. As tough as the Suncrest race was while I was running it, the sense of accomplishment that I had afterward cannot be explained. And now, I think I have the "bug"! Just over a week out from Suncrest, I still have the adrenalin pumping through my veins, just thinking about the next race! :)
I have a few details to tie up, but my next half marathon will be the Snow Canyon Half Marathon in St. George, Utah on November 7th. I am very excited about this race and excited to start training. So, for the next six weeks I will have my eye on a new goal, to finish my second half marathon.....and set a new PR while doing it!
I also want to take a minute and thank all of my fabulous friends and family for all of the support and kind words that I have received throughout my training and after the race. My accomplishment was made all the more sweet knowing that I have such wonderful, caring people in my life. All of you are so important to me and I would never want to imagine my life with out each of you! THANK YOU!
To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites.
