I have had a big case of the winter blahs! I have been feeling unmotivated to do much of anything. This week after a not so great run on the treadmill I left the gym feeling discouraged. Discouraged that a simple 3-4 mile run felt difficult and yucky! Seriously, after all the work I had done this last year why was such a short run so HARD? I felt like I was back to square one! I was seriously down on myself. Then I got to thinking about this past year and how far I had come and all the "firsts" that I had accomplished. My first half marathon, 2 10K's, and my first Olympic length triathlon. I decided to give myself a little bit of a break and am determined to get back into it.

Chris and Steph ran this race with us too. It was an amazing feeling of accomplishment for me. It was such a blast to do it with some of my most favorite people in the world!

These are the only two pics Kent got of me at the Tri. I was hurting after this one. I think it was as hard or harder for me than my half marathon. I was definitely not in the picture kind of mood but was so glad that I did it!
