Last year, I had an injury that prevented me from participating in the Knoxville Marathon Relay Race. But, I was thrilled to be back for a relay race this year!
I probably could have done a better job of keeping up with my training schedule. I missed a few weeks of training due to work and personal travel. But, perhaps it was the adrenaline and excitement of race day, I still managed to have my best pace and race possible. It was not easy! All of a sudden we had a very warm and sunny day. It was hot! I tried to stay as hydrated as possible to avoid heat exhaustion.
Glad I was able to do this! I want to continue to do what brings me joy. Running is one of those activities that pushes me mentally and physically. I love running and observing the environment around me. When I am done, it just feels so good. I feel a sense of accomplishment that is different to other experiences of “accomplishment.”
Primo Tito this one was for you!
Here are a few pictures before, during, and after the race!
