R is for Racing

No better feeling that crossing the finish line…

I.Love.Racing.

If I had the time and money (and no injuries), I would run a race every weekend of the year.
Racing keeps me running. I know that I cannot slack off. If I do, then the race will be painful (physically and mentally).
I usually run alone and when I run a race, I see and meet other runners. So much more enjoyable.
I am competitive so when I run a race, I don’t stop and walk as much and I run faster.
I only get that runner’s high when I cross a finish line.

Speaking about racing, I have a 5K race scheduled for tomorrow.

April 21, 2013

I ran the Half Marathon in 2011 but this year I decided to try the 5k. I finished my last 5K under 29 minutes!!! I don’t think that’s going to happen again for awhile. And this one is a lot hillier. I just plan to have fun and run the best race that I can.

how can you not enjoy a race that has this view?

Happy Running! Do you enjoying running or racing or both?

Excellent. You sound like you really enjoy what your doing so good for you. I used to run, but I have back problems and was advised running would do more damage. I’ll have to make do with walking. 🙂
