| Our RFG group minus Kristal. She still needs to Photoshop herself in the picture! |
Half of us were training for the Mini while half of us were training for a 5K. I LOVE this group of women! I learned so much about running, made new friends, grew closer to current friends, and definitely learned more about God and my relationship with Him.
After 12 weeks of training, we were ready for our celebratory run. This time we completed our run at Eagle Creek Park. Originally we were only supposed to run a 10K and 5K respectively that day. But at this point in my Mini-Marathon training I still needed to complete a 10 mile run. So a few of us went extra early to complete our 10 mile run. We were able to finish up about the same time the 10K and 5K groups were finished. We had our cookout and enjoyed time together celebrating our great achievement.
This particular run was challenging for me. Ten miles is the longest distance I have run (even to date). I had my perfect run the weekend before, and I am not sure if I was expecting that or what, but I struggled! Here is the overview of that run:
When I was finished, I was disappointed with the pace, but I refuse to be discouraged. I HAD JUST COMPLETED 10 MILES!!!! WHAT IS THERE TO BE DISCOURAGED ABOUT?
We are going to do another Run for God group later in the year, and we will just have a 5K group. I am very excited about this because there is something awesome about watching the transformation in people as they go from claiming they cannot run to finishing a 5K. I am amazed and inspired by this every single time we have a class. Looking forward to more chances to Run for God!
