A little over a year ago, I made a commitment to run at least one 10k race every month. However, before that commitment surfaced, my life changed one day in January 2018, and running became my crutch for coping with change.
For now, I’ll stick to the race recap of my last event, my second Wharf to Wharf.
The first race I ever ran a race it was the Wharf to Wharf in 2018, finishing in 1:09:47. One year, 16 races, and 14 medals later, I ran the same Wharf to Wharf, and I finished in 00:50:31. That 19-minute difference is a personal record for me, and it all stemmed from one day in January 2018—one run at a time, one day at a time, one race at a time.
The race was great and the PR feels just as great, but the real challenge is yet to come—the marathon. When and how have not been decided yet, but a goal is a goal and the training must continue.
