Challenges are great for the mind and body!!

This morning started off with  6am pickup from two friends to head to Santa Cruz for a half marathon run. It was a beautiful morning, the course was so scenic- along the coast. I had finished the previous two half marathons in 2:10 and 2:11 each- today was 2:14.... Honestly I had hoped to finish in less than 2:10, but within 4 minutes isn't so bad right? Considering I hadn't really been running and/or training seriously I think it was good. Some runs you are in that groove- the music, the tempo, the strides- however I haven't got to that point where my body isn't fighting my mind- but hope to break this barrier in the coming months.  I'm planning on running another half marathon in July and hope that I can push through and run stronger, continue to improve!!
