~half marathon & a note~

• Half Marathon #8 🏃🏼‍♀️ This half was so fun! The course had a spooky and cozy October feel with the chilly morning air, fog over the water, a decorated trail, and autumn leaves falling to the ground. 🍂👻 My best friends ran the race too, and my boyfriend/#1 supporter cheered us on, so love was all around! 🩷

• I just ran my PR in early September, so I knew I wanted this half marathon to be a chill one. I picked a pace beforehand and just enjoyed the run. Sometimes going back to the roots of running because you love it (not always shooting for a PR) is one of the best things you can do. It takes the pressure off. I picked a podcast and just put one foot in front of the other.

• Happy running friends 🏃🏼‍♀️ And remind yourself that while it’s an amazing thing to set goals, don’t forget to enjoy the run/workout/training you’re doing. Go back to your roots, remember why you fell in love with it in the first place. 🩷
