Kirsten, Kristy, Michelle at Finish Line

This past weekend I ran the Boulder Spring Half Marathon on the dirt backroads by the Reservoir.  It was an important race to me because it’s the first-ever race I’ve done without Bill and I ran with the goal of finishing the race in good health (after two post-race scares for the previous half marathon’s I’ve done) – and I did!  The weather was perfect for the race and I really focused on enjoying it and not pushing myself, even at the end when I felt good.  It was not my best time but it felt SO GOOD to finish strong and see my girls and Bill at the end.  It was also wonderful to have Kirsten and Michelle to race with.  Even though we didn’t run together I felt their support and enjoyed celebrating with them (+ family) at the finish line.

Next up will be some cycling this Summer (I just joined the Venus de Miles Cycling Club!) and training for the Denver Rock N’ Roll Marathon in the Fall!)
