Twilight 5k

Friday, May 13th, was the Twilight 5k in Uptown Charlotte. This was my 2nd time running it and I just have to say it was so good! My time was 36:20, compared to 41 something from the year before and 21 seconds better than my 5k in March. We're making progress folks! I know I say this often, but it really is so fun to see how much you've progressed in just a year.

I don't really have any more races lined up for the rest of the summer, well, take that back... running one at the end of July in Asheville. The Bele Chere 5k. Should be fun and challenging... Asheville is much more mountainous than Charlotte. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other I suppose. That's all it takes to get to the finish line!

Here are some running quotes I've been loving lately:

"Every accomplishment begins with the decision to try."

"The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start."

"It's very hard in the beginning to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit."
