the manhattan beach 10k was this past sunday. i finished and for the first time i actually paid attention to my pr and went out trying to beat it. 50:35 was the final time and although i didn't beat it, i had a great race none the less.
in previous races i've always gone out taking in the course alone. but i was reminded this past week its nice to have someone there beside you to push you just a little harder, to remind you that you can finish it, and to have someone who stays with you even if you don't stay with them. over the past 8 months i've been told more times then i can count, "everything happens for a reason". it of course never seems like it does until well, until it does. i've still got a long way to go. mentally and physically. i've still got a lot of battles, hills, and long runs to conquer. but now it seems a little easier with a new partner. turns out we all have demons we want to fight. and if we can find someone to fight them with it makes the battle that much easier.
