I am so lucky to be able to run. I am always filled with gratitude standing at the start line of a race, happy to be with others who are running and thinking of others who cannot. Pretty happy with the time, on target for what I expected. Unhappy about pacing 7:30, 7:40, 8:10. It was a bit of a downhill out and uphill back and no one passed me on the way back so maybe effort was more even than it looks. But I was more tired the last mile than I wanted to be. |
