This month I have felt better than I have in a long time. Seems like it has been more than a year since I felt good and happy. Last year I was thinking I didn't want todo another Dogwood Canyon Trail race or anything for that matter but I have forced my self through the motions of life, training and races waiting for depression to leave. The news two weeks ago that my Mom is now cancer free has been a big relief. My infinite feeling of energy has returned. At this years Dogwood Canyon 25K trail race I had a blast like I did the first year. Timed flew by and I enjoyed the hills of fall colored trees. It was like a beautiful bouquet. Was worried that I didn't get enough hill practice in since most of my running this year was on flat paved trails and the treadmill but I felt good and wasn't too sore afterwards. Next year I want to beat my time of 4 hours and 10 min. |
