Classic 10k

   I ran my first race today after having Graceyn.  Like I have mentioned, it is a lot of work to build speed back up.  I often get frustrated that I am no where near as fast as I was a little over a year ago.  I just keeping training and working as hard as I can and know that I will get there again.  I did after having Dawson.  This morning, was the Classic 10k race.  I wasn't originally planning on running it.  Then I realized, I had ran it the last 3 years. My sister and brother were running it.  It is a really pretty and neat course.  I decided to just bite the bullet and run it.  I wanted to get 6 miles in today anyways.  I set out with absolutely no time goals whatsoever.  In fact I didn't even wear my Garmin to track my pace.  I tend to get very competitive, and didn't want to get caught up in that.  I just wanted to go by what felt good.  I ran a solid race and it felt great to be running in a race again.  I did miss it.  My time was a lot better than I thought it would be, but I still have a long way to go  The most important thing is that I had fun today.  The bright side is that my time will be even more awesome next year!
