Exercise has always been an important aspect of my life. I always exercised for general fitness and well being until the last couple of years. After two knee surgeries, I truly found the appreciation for my legs and ability to exert my body physically. This past sunday, I completed my second half marathon, Great Western 2010. It was overall a successful race. I finished in 2:01:01, running at a 9:16 pace, and 19th out of 47 in my age group. I was blessed to have many friends running with me making it both a social and competitive event. While the completion of a race brings feelings of emptiness after 12 weeks of training, it also provides an opportunity to find new events to train for. Throughout the summer I plan to complete multiple sprint triathlons and longer distance running races.
