My friends Stef, Melissa and I took a little road trip down to VA Beach right before St. Patrick's Day to run the Yuengling Shamrock 8K. This was farther than I'd run in the past, but I realize 5 miles isn't that far for all the die-hard runners out there. It was far for me, and I had a lot of anxiety the night before the race as I wanted to do well.
We drove down Friday afternoon then got up early Saturday morning to run the race at 7:45am. We watched the sunrise over the ocean then hiked up to the starting line. I was determined to run a 10 minute mile, fast for me, and I did it! It was a beautiful race and I finished in 49:20. I'm ok with not running anymore races and this will forever be that one 8K that I ran. My knees and I disagree about running. If we can ever come to an agreement about running than maybe I will try another race :)
