Sunburst half marathon is now paid for! This race is a flat course, the finish line is on the 50 yard line of Notre Damn Football field and it is their 30 year anniversary this year....sounds like a perfect opportunity for me to hit a new Personal Record.
In 2012, I didn't really push myself speed wise because I wanted last years races to be about finishing and fun. This year I want to continue the fun part of racing but I want to start pushing myself to the next level. In March 2012, I got my last PR of 2:05 :)

| Before the race! The only goal I had for this race was to run in a sports bra...then I got a PR too :) Score! |
I can remember that race moment like it was yesterday. Going into the
race I had no expectations! All I wanted to do was run in Florida with
my Dad and create a long lasting memory of running a race with him!
Needless to say Dad didn't have a great race and I had to leave him at
mile 6. I really pushed hard, felt like I could die and cried when I
noticed that I beat my last PR by 20 minutes! Wow is right! It was a
great race, beautiful flat course and it was right next to the ocean. I
wish I could go back this year but spring break is a week later. Dad
is running it.. I wish him luck!

| We ran by this bridge as the sun was coming up! It was an amazing view..I got emotional at this part of the race! Taking a picture there with my biggest inspiration (my Dad) was a most!! |
So my goal for the Sunburst 1/2 Marathon is under 2:05 but I have a personal goal to get it at 2 hours or less! What does this mean? It's time to really focus on my speed and will be pacing myself during training at a 9:10. Fingers crossed I got it in me... Mission is Possible!
Guess what else is coming up in 2013???
Here is a clue
