My feet are beginning to become rough and warn; my toenails are cut too short. My calves are sore and I am exhausted.
It has been a long and enjoyable race weekend. Keith and I ran the RAP River Run in New Port Richey, Florida. It was my first time running the course and Keith had return to set a dominating PR (personal record) from his first 5k nearly 5 years ago.
As we arrived to the race, Keith warmed up and I had met with new friends. As I mentioned in a previous blog post I decided to join a local running group, The Suncoast Striders. I have always wanted to be a decent runner but never truly felt motivated; I desired the encouragement and like mindedness of others. I seem to have found that in less than a week thus far. Keith ran off to warm up and stretch as I gabbed with my new Suncoast Strider friend (we will call her Sasha) and her long time friend. We discussed our goals for the day’s race and any training we have done lately.
