Running in the rain

Well, here it is February and I haven't posted anything since November. Since the Turkey Trot there have been two runs. The Patrick's Point run in late January and the Clam Beach Run, which was just last weekend. Both runs led to myself getting a 1 minute personal record(PR) in the 10K and Amber crushed her previous best 5k time by over two minutes.

Next we did the Trinidad to Clam Beach Run. This one was special to both Amber and I because it signalled the beginning of racing a year ago. People in our neighborhood started training for it last year and it was an opportunity for me to try and run as well. Little did we know that once we started running it was going to be hard to stop. I actually remember having a conversation with Amber after an evening run when I told her that I felt like I was made to run. I think she just chuckled and thought I was crazy, but now maybe even she thinks she was made to run too!!! Windy Wednesdays is still active. It's always nice to get together on Wednesdays.

There are plenty of springtime races coming up, Foggy Bottoms, The AVE, and many club races. Here's to many more PR's!

Go wild and enjoy running!!!
