Falmouth Road Race 2013 and more


Mike and I spent Saturday Morning handing out race numbers to all those that could make it to the expo and those who sent others because they were stuck in a 6 mile back up at the bridge!!!  Ewww...  so glad we trekked down late on Friday night :)




Saturday flew by I caught up with friends that I haven't seen in a while, Love ya Julia, and then got a good nights rest before race day!



 I'm always a little bit of a spaz on race day, also no matter what I do i'm nervous!  So I woke up late (yup that's right) and arrived at the bus area with everyone else (and their mother)

Everything went really smoothly though and I had plenty of time to prepare myself prior to the race...  This is just an example of how packed the corrals were!


I managed to set a Personal Record for myself yesterday!  My average 7 mile time was 1:10 approximately.


Not too shabby considering the heat and terrain of this race ( a lot of hills and one BIG hill at the end)

SO I believe I earned my self a little recovery time... we all went to the beach for the afternoon and spent time relaxing and hanging out with the dogs! (shiloh's not pictured because she won't sit still long enough for me to take a picture!)









All and All it was a wonderful Falmouth Road Race weekend!  I saw a few old friends, enjoyed a couple good nights with some close friends.  I appreciate all the love and support from everyone, and I'm going to keep running down all of my dreams and hopefully you'll stay tuned to see what's next.


Goal Recap:

1. I ran at least 3x last week (including the road race)  My goal is 3-4 this week as well.
2.  I made it to 1 bodypump class last week (fail!) but I'm going to do two this week.  I have 1 scheduled for tonight and Thursdays are becoming my other bodypump night.
3.  I didn't make it to a spinning class.  My schedule got out of control last week but i'm going to put it on this weeks goal list.
4.  Eat leaner and healthier and not snack late night!

Goal: Falmouth Road Race 2013




We are less than a week away from the 2013 Falmouth Road Race.  This race is super special to me, it's my hometown race and I will be running it for the very first time!  
Can anyone say super-anxious!!!!



This is just one example of the beautiful vistas I will encounter on my 7-mile trek from Woods Hole to Falmouth Heights and I can't wait to take it all in :)

On another note:  Some of you may have wondered where I ran off to... I stopped, I stopped running, I stopped lifting (Beer doesn't count) and I stopped caring!  Guess what, I gained a few pounds back, fell out of the best shape of my life and spiraled out of control and I'm not happy with myself.  

So today, I declare a restart.  I'm going to start fresh with the motivation to get it done, everyday until it becomes HABIT again!

Goals for the week:
1.  Get in a run at least 3 days this week leading up to the race, 3-4 miles a day
2.  Get to Bodypump at least 2x this week
3. Attend my first spinning class in over 2 years

What are your goals for this week?


Words I am going to live by~
