Gold Coast Half Marathon – 2013

Pre race breakfast

 Today’s run: A-w-e-s-o-m-e!!!

You can’t plan great days and great runs. They just happen. It’s the little things that make them all the more special. The unexpected moments. Whether it’s the good deed on the track, a familiar face from the past in the crowd, feeling strong from start to finish, a pat on the back, family and friends, a perfect day.

I noticed something today. Running long distance races makes me emotional. I start to well up inside and get very sentimental. It’s nice. I’m one of those people who try to avoid too much emotion, but when I run, I just let it be.

Thanks to everyone today who made the day incredibly fantastic.
