I managed to challenge my best 5 mile time in the past few weeks as my goal to beat, and I managed to beat it by a more than a minute. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

When running becomes more about making a difference in the world, and impacting others, it doesn’t matter how far or fast you run but the message of hope that you share with others. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Summer running is honestly not my favorite. As crazy as it may seem to many I enjoy Winter running more. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Let’s just say that regardless of how tired I was yesterday morning I shouldn’t have let the Friday race allow me to think that I would be OK with not getting my Monday 4 miles in. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun

Ultimately my goal is always just to finish. Whether I find myself having to take some running breaks, or struggling against heat and humidity, in the end it’s all about finishing. #HWI #KCC #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRHalfMarathon #RiverBankRun
