First race of the season!

This week was a drop in mileage and my first race of the season on Saturday, the Martha Jefferon 8k!

The race went GREAT! It was cold and rainy, but I felt like I ran strong the entire time. My time last year was 38:44, so this year I was hoping to break 37:00. I hit mile one at 7:03, so I went out a bit faster than planned and was struggling a bit by mile five, but I crossed the finish line in 36:34! That time was good enough for the WIN for my age division - women's 20-24. Feels great to finally get my first race win!!

Hitting the 40 mile mark for mileage this week back home in Scottsville. Long run will be 18mi. I may have to double up on workouts for a few days to get everything in this week. Yes, I'm on spring break, but I've got quite a full schedule!!
