I trained, I sweated, I ran, I hurt, I finished...On Sunday, I ran the Santa Cruz 10k! I made it....finished at 1:05.29. Not too bad for my first race. Coming down the last hill, I felt like I could fly...then we hit the sand at the finish line and came to an abrupt halt. People keep asking if I feel like I have accomplished something...I am not sure to be honest. I feel like there was a lot of build up, and now it is over. I feel like I want to get out there and run more. Does that make me a runner? Not sure I would consider myself that, but I guess I am. They told me to take this week off, but I feel weird NOT running. I guess that says it in itself. I keep thinking of the next race I could be training for, how can I increase my stamina and speed and how can I get rid of these darn blisters? Is is weird to feel kind of let down? I guess not, maybe I have just been bitten by the bug...Amy would be proud ;o)
