I just updated my events page to include my pace for each race. I added a bold, “PR” next to many of my times. I run for many different reasons, and challenging myself is one of them. This weekend I finished my first 8k. It was a great race, but we were greeted with terrible weather. For part of it, going slightly uphill, the wind was whipping into my face and trying to blow my hat right off my head. It surely would have if it hadn’t been for my ponytail. My pace really wasn’t good at all. I’m not making excuses, but I know that some of that is because of the weather. The great thing about PR’s is that the only person I have to beat is myself. The next time I run an 8k, I will definitely train to beat my time. I have no doubt that I’ll succeed.
