Woohoo, I completed my first race since June!!!
I heart finisher’s medals. 
On Sunday morning, I woke up at six and had my usual pre-race, well really every day, breakfast of banana and oats. Yum!
Feeling excited pre-race. It’s actually gotten cooler earlier than usual this year, averaging in the low twenties (that’s the low seventies for those who go by Fahrenheit) , hence the coat. Now I know that it may not sound pretty warm for many of you but hey, it’s all relative right? Sorry, I digress. 
My awesome dad woke up early to drive me to the race site so I could leave a bit later and catch more z’s. Thanks dad! I cut the time very close and arrived just as the buzzer went off for the 10k group. Booyah, just in time!
Congrats on your race. It sounds like it was a challenging one.
Thanks Kristi, it sure was!
Congrats beauty! With all those hills I doubt anyone would have been able to run the whole thing. You should be super proud of yourself 🙂
Thank you so much Davida!!! 😀
That sounds brutal! I’ve never done a trail race, and the one time I ran trails I was DYING.
I was dying the whole time, too. Maybe I should stick to road races from now on. 😛
Aww well done on your race, what a great achievement!
Thank you Jan. 🙂
Congrats once again- and best name ever!
Thanks Arman! Haha, so true. 😛
Awesome work! I often feel like I might be ‘running’ slower than people walking up a hill – it is such a snail pace!! Hope you’re recovering well 🙂
Thanks Corinne! I often feel like I run slower than some people walk too. Oh, well. 😛
Congrats on finishing Shawn! 🙂
Thanks Brandi! 🙂
Congrats! And love your new blog layout 😀
Thanks Liz, glad you like it. 🙂
Congratulations with your first race! The hills look amazing… I haven’t seen these types of hills/mountains in Taiwan before…but I would love to see more!
Thanks Rika! 🙂 You should definitely come for a visit soon. 😀
