Peace At Home

Third race completed. I hated my time, which was disappointing, because this race really meant a lot to me. Life goes on though, I've proved that to myself on more than one occasion. I think the disappointment I feel isn't just because of the race. I think it is the disappointment surrounding domestic violence. It isn't an easy thing to go through, besides the physical aspect there is this whole emotional tornado. I think I wanted to run really well and forget about the past, which simply isn't possible. You can leave it behind, but it will never be forgotten. This just means that next race I'll have to do better and continue growing as a runner, which in turn will make me grow as a person.

Last Thursday I went on a run with the Charlotte Runners. It was nice to run with a group again, even though I couldn't keep up. It is so difficult to run in the heat. Hydrate hydrate hydrate next time! Yes, I'm going to try to run with them again. What did they do to deserve this??
