Turning 26

For my birthday, I got up before dawn and drug my family downtown so I could run just over 13 miles at just shy of an 11 minute pace. No, I'm not fast, but I ran it, and it was great. There was a light rain, off and on, and it kept me nice and cool. This was the 30th annual race, and I don't expect them to stop having it any time soon, so I'm going to run in this race every year that I'm able. Next year I'll run the full marathon. I've already begun training to get my pace under 10 minutes per mile. Here's to next year!
