One year passed by so fast!

| Perfect conditions race morning! |
Reading last year’s race report on the 8K sunrise run, I was reminded that I
just moved in with roommates Brendan and Jon this time last year. Poor Jen is
out for this race too this year, so I had to go at it alone and roadtripped
with some friends, Eric and Katrina.

Running is a cruel sport. I’m not going lie, this will be a
pretty boring update. I held 6th in age division spot pretty much
the entire way. Feet were numb, lungs were going, and steps were shuffling. And
I did the half marathon. I forgot how much running really hurts!
Beautiful course with nearly perfect conditions on race day.
Considering the Saturday before was pouring rain, I’ll take it!
Honestly, I was chasing the coveted sub 1:21 NYC qualifier,
but realistically the body could only handle a little over 1:22 on this day.

I
faded pretty quick near the end while others were gearing up for a sprint finish. But that didn’t matter much since 1:21 was out of the question already early on. On a
positive note, a great result leading up for the Seattle Marathon! Until next
time!
