Way to push through even though your body didn’t agree with you! I’ve never run a race at the beach, but it looks like a ton of fun! :0)

I’m going to try to make myself start commenting here from time to time instead of always lurking. :-P It’s actually reassuring to hear that even people with as much experience as you have running struggle sometimes. It makes me feel a little less hopeless in my own running!

Very true — I will say that it WAS my first time seeing Lucy, which was interesting, haha. And you can never complain about a flat course, that’s for sure. I was kind of looking forward to that spinning medal, so that definitely added to my disappointment. But, it’s another race in the books, right? And we had fun! :)

That’s awesome — yeah, I pretty much forget about any “bad” race experience the minute it’s over. That seems to be why I can’t stop myself for signing up for another one…and another one…and another one… ;)

You’re absolutely right — you can’t always plan for everything (especially if it’s, you know, a natural part of being a woman, LOL) but as long as you don’t give up, that’s all that counts. :)

Oh, you will, no doubt about it — you’re going to see improvement with every race you run! Only a matter of time. :-D
