It's been a while since I updated on my running. I am still running, but I have been very inconsistent this year. I am working full time now and it is so hard to fit my runs in. I am running mostly at night, which is fine, but I prefer running in the morning. I ran another half marathon March 14th in Dallas. I improved my time from Austin by 20 minutes. I registered and planned on running it alone. While standing waiting for the race to start I stuck up a conversation with a girl in my pace group. We were each looking to improve our previous time and wanted to finish around 2:30. We ended up running the whole race together and she really helped me. I definitely ran it faster than I would have without her. I finished in 2:20. The race was different from Austin for sure. It was flat, so a much faster course. I really enjoyed it and hoped to run another one in November, San Antonio. I broke a bone in my foot in August, so that did not happen. After 8 weeks of no running, I am finally getting back into the swing of things. I am back up around 6 miles and planning to run Austin again February 20th. I will be running this race with 1 and possibly 2 friends from work. I am determined to stay dedicated this year and hope to run at least a couple, if not more, half marathons. I would like to run my first marathon by the end of the year, but I will probably wait one more year. I will graduate in December so I should focus on school before I try to train for a marathon. I will update my runs more often so I can track my progress. I ran last night for 50 minutes and I hope to be able to do the same later today.
