A Race of Determination!

The Seaside Half Marathon in Seaside Heights, New Jersey on October 17, 2010 was my first running race since the 2008 half marathon in Richmond, Virginia. Although, in the last two years my longest running distance was 10 miles, and less than 5 miles in the last few months, I was determined to finish this race. It wasn't easy, and to make things even more difficult, I started out too fast of a pace for the first 7 miles. Despite being very fatigued and sore, I was determined to push through and finished the race in a respectable time. This was a small, local, race which was a lot of fun thanks to the beach and the bar at Spicy.
