First Race!

As you know, my husband Mike and I embarked on our running adventures just over a year ago. Well, when we were volunteering at the Brea 8k, 2010, we said, “Next year we will run in this race!” Well, it’s now next year and we will be running in the Brea 8k on Sunday Feb. 27, 2011, our first race ever!

I am pretty excited about running in the Brea 8k this Sunday! As I look at the weather forecast, rain all Friday and Saturday…I hope and pray that it will be dry on Sunday! I really never envisioned my first race being in the rain; however, it will make a good story if it rains!

A running friend of mine asked if I had set any PR (personal record) goals for this race. The answer is “no”. This race is for the experience. I’ve heard that it is good just to run in your first race and get the experience, no pressure about PR’s, just enjoy the excitement of the race and the feeling of accomplishment, just have fun and enjoy. That is precisely what I intend on doing! Oh, and also enjoy the free food at the finish line…it is said that no other race has better food at the finish line than the Brea 8k!

I will blog again, very soon, perhaps on Sunday after the race to tell all about my first running race!
