During the 2014 Columbus Half Marathon, I went to high five the mile two Patient Champion, and something immediately clicked. My stride felt just right and my pace felt easy, and I went on to PR by 18 minutes that day. After the race, I was able to keep training at that pace that had previously seemed impossible.
Though I can’t pinpoint the exact spot in the race, I broke through another mental barrier at Richmond Half Marathon two weeks ago. I used to get scared and back off as soon as I saw the pace on my watch start with an 8. At Richmond, I proved that I’m more than capable of sub 9 miles, and I’ve been consistently running that fast over the last couple weeks. Now I’m wondering what else my body is capable of if I get my mind out of the way.

Hello, my name is Alyssa!I'm a momma to Emerson Lilly and two fur babies, a distance runner, and just a girl full of sparkle and quirks. I love traveling to races and exploring new places to run! I started this blog in 2014 as more of a journal to keep track of training for my first marathon, and I've continued to post about training, races, and other things happening in my life. Also, I'd like to be your best friend. :) Categories
