Running Update


Afternoon Folks! 

This past weekend I completed my 10K! 


I have been training over the past few months and as of two weeks ago only had done 4 miles (10K is 6.2 miles) -- YIKES!  So weekend before last I mentally prepared myself for 6 miles and completed it over at Lake Johnson (very hilly) - With that training confidence I set off this past Friday to New Bern for the Neuse River Bridge Run.  Bo and I enjoyed a yummy dinner at Captain Ratty's and at 5:40 am on Saturday morning I was up and ready!  The run was absolutely beautiful.  We ran over the Neuse River Bridge and back through historic downtown New Bern a Sunrise.  The view over the water was absolutely breath taking and made me think a lot about my dad and his love for his the North Carolina Coast.  My official Chip Time was 1 hour 5 min and 35 seconds.  Not to shabby.  My goal was right around 1 hour.

After the run! Still Standing!
This weekend I am setting off for the Color Me Rad 5K!    I am super excited and will definitely be posting photos!
