finish line

yesterday i ran a 10k.  i was suppose to run the half marathon but due to an injury i slacked on running for a while.  i was disappointed because i always love a challenge and the competitiveness but also knew that if i didnt allow myself to heal from my injury i would not be running for a long time.  so i instead ran the 10k.  this was the first year for the run, heartbreak's half.  it was a lot of fun and an easy run, flat and scenic through downtown portland.  

i felt well accomplished when i was done for the lack of running i have been doing.  i completed in 46.0 minutes, which is an average of a 7:29.  this is not my best time for a 10k but i finished... and i finished.

well compared to others.  in my age division i got second, and overall, i got twenty fifth.  

it always feel so good to cross that finish line.  i love running and it is my passion.  running through neighborhoods, being challenged, doing something i love, and working hard.... give me the drive to continue to run.
