I'm a pretty avid runner and have been for the past seven years. All through high school I raced in track and cross country. I love the feeling of the wind blowing past me and the unleashing of my legs. Once you hit that groove, nothing can touch you.
It's been over two years since I last raced. And that race wasn't much; just a small 5K fun run in my home town. So a few weeks before the wedding, I decided I needed to sign up for a race. The Sunset Run to Drums was sheer perfection. It was a smaller race, so there wasn't the pressure of a huge crowd, and it was right along the Seattle waterfront. Gorgeous.

All in all, I'm really happy with my time -- 63 minutes! I haven't run 6+ miles at a time since last fall! It definitely served as a great motivation and I hope to continue, adding more and more miles. Next up: a half-marathon! Not sure when or where yet. Maybe it will just be me and the open road. Whatever it may be, I have no intention to stop.
