Always nice....

to get a PR!! ;) Last 2 races I set one. Today I beat my old PR by 3:18!!! Not even trying. Always so awesome!! When I saw my my time at mile 5.2 I said do not go above 10 min/mile and you could beat it by like 2 mins. So MAYBE I sort of tried towards the end lol otherwise I did not. Plus that last mile I was not looking at my watch the whole time I just glanced every now and then to see if I was running above. When I saw my time I was like HOLY CRAP!! ;) Sorry for the language haha I love beating times when I do not try or train to. I just run to finish.

I do not do speed work. Maybe SOME day but not any day close to the near future. Do not get me wrong it would always be nice to run faster...but I just do not have that NEED to. I just want to run and finish strong.

I conquered something I was worried about. I mentioned to someone last night these EXACT words "It worries me, freaks me out, makes me panic, and scares the crap out of me...THAT is why I MUST do it."this was referring to the decision of NOT wearing my camelback. Depending on the water stations.  I am so used to having it just in case I need it. SO I set out to not wear it and I made it through JUST FINE. :-D I wanted to depend on the stations for my 1/2's so now I am going to. My FULL I will DEF wear it though. Still will be wearing it for my running at home. Anywho I did just fine and conquered what worried me so much. 


When you are faced with fear the only thing left to do is tackle it HEAD ON. :) I am crazy like that. I realized that. When it comes to running that is!! I did it today with my water, and when I signed up for my 1/2's and full marathon. :) Many other ways as well.


NOW....what bothered and is still bothering me is while I was running I thought "HOW am I supposed to run this AGAIN for my 1/2's?!" You naturally push yourself during races. So I only did a 10K (6.2) today how am I to race 13.1?!! I can run (so far) 12 miles at home with no problem but racing is HARDER and TOUGHER and plain out more rough. I was not DYING today but it was..I do not even know the words. It was a pusher. I could not see myself doing it all over again..for ANOTHER 6.2 miles. So how am I to do it?! How am I going to make it?!


That is what I can not get out of my head.


I went over by 51 last night. That is ok. I was supposed to be @ 1400 yesterday. I ate a bagel (carbs) and it put me @ 1451. Did not know of anything else to consume for 179 calories period let alone with carbs I needed. So it is fine.


That is about all folks!
