Days until the NYC Marathon: 31!
Well it's official - race season is here in Central Florida! I love races - the getting up early, finding your friends, the porto potties, and the medals. Sometimes I get crazy and sign up for what most people would think is too many, but that's ok I love them. I started off race season with the Miracle Miles 15k. I had sworn I wouldn't ever run this race, it's notoriously hot. and a 15k is too long to be running in the heat and sun for me. However, in the delirium I was in on our last long run Mary managed to convince us to all run the race and wear yellow to show support for a friend's son who is battling cancer. I tried to keep up with the group but lost it around mile 4 or 5 after spending two miles with my nemesis the sun! Even though I struggled through the middle I was glad to see that I took over 5 minutes off of my previous 15k time!
PR!

Leah and I with bling and PR's!
Next up I earned some sweet looking virtual bling from Jost Running. I cranked out the Soaring 5k pretty easy one morning. Then for our last long run weekend I put in 14 miles to earn the Soaring Half Marathon bling, while it looks like I didn't run it straight through, all I did was drop of a group member and pick up some more so I restarted my watch in there. The October race series from them has THE MOST AMAZING LOOKING BLING! I cannot wait to get my hands on those!
5k!
Add those together for my half marathon
Love these big sparkly medals!
