RACING......SOMETIMES YOUR BODY SAYS NO!






I did a race in Moab, I love this race! I was excited, prepared and ready for a fun day with my friends.......but it wasn't meant to be! I knew by mile 4 that the race was going to be rough for me. I started letting things get into my head before the race started, because I took a nasty fall on some rocks. That did not help my mental strategy! I can't say if it was physical sickness, mental or both but I was not feeling good at all! I luckily had a sweet love friend who ran with me and kept me going! At the end, my time was not bad considering I wanted to die! I don't remember much of the race because I felt like I was going to pass out throughout most of it, but I do remember My friend Carla grabbing my hand at the finish line and telling me to smile for the camera! It is all about how you look doing it! I love running, I love being social with my girls, and even though I had a bad race, I can't wait to do it again!
