I'm having a hard time writing it so I thought I'd give a brief update so you know what happened to me! I can finish writing the recap later.
So my goal this year was to PR my marathon. I didn't try to PR anything else. I worked on my mental attitude with pushing out negative thoughts, finding my happy running pace and staying consistent and be able to push through. Well....
I did PR! My official Grand Rapids Marathon time was 4:39:20! My previous PR was from the 2012 Chicago Marathon with a time of 4:44:54! So I'm super happy about this! I didn't make my #1 goal of 4:35 but I am happy with a PR ... AND with a time in the 4:30's somewhere! I will try to finish up an actual recap soon.
Also, I ran a 5k last weekend. And I have the Lakefront Ultra 50k this Saturday, so I'm pretty busy! I better get moving on my blog posts then or they will be getting backed up (I also have 2 half marathons in November! Yikes!).
Can you believe it's almost November??

ReplyDeleteWoohoo! That's a great time! I would love to do the Lakefront Ultra sometime. Can't wait to hear how that goes. I CANNOT believe tomorrow is November. How did that happen already??!
