The past 8 months in review

Quick recap of the past 8 months of my running career.  

March :  The National Half Marathon in Washington D.C.  I've run this before and it's fun.  A lesson learned from this race; don't run a race if you have a cold.  You need to be able to breathe through your mouth AND your nose.  The pictures are funny.

April: The Cherry Blossom 10 miler.  I can't think of a better way to see the cherry blossoms than running underneath them.

Also in April, I ran a 200 mile relay.  Such a fun and monumental event that I will write a separate post on it.

May: Cascades 10K.  Outback steaks afterwards, need I say more?  Sometimes, the best reason to run a race is the post race food. 

June:  Twilight 4 miler.  One word: awesome!  My church, Gateway,  ran this as a group.  AWESOME!  

Summer- October: Marathon training once again.  The Marine Corps Marathon is October 25th, where I hope to get a PR. (personal record)  Anything faster than a 3:50 would  be fabulous.  It's almost time to dig deep, run fast.

"They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
--  Isaiah 40:31
