American Fork Canyon Half Marathon
I am so happy that this race is over! I have been training and preparing for it since the end of February! The only reason I say I am glad it is over is because I never thought I would be in so much pain at the end of that race! I guess I forget about that part! But there is something that really makes you dig deep and you switch over from listening to your body to listening to your mind. It tests your mental toughness because all your body is saying is to stop and shut down. You have to keep your mind telling you to keep going! It becomes a mental game at that point. I love this race. It is very well organized and it is just amazing to be able to run for such a great cause, Cancer patients! David gave me a sweet blessing that I will treasure always a couple days before my race that brought peace and comfort to me. I was having problems with my achilles heel in both feet and it was really hard to walk without shoes...
