FITSARAHBEAR'S DORM ROOM

Well it's has been quite some time since I posted a blog on here, but that doesn't mean I have been lazy! In fact I have stayed pretty busy this summer running races. I have five 5k's under my belt and one 10k. I'm looking to run a few more races and improve on my time for the 5k. Right now I have yet to beat my best mark of 25:29 in my first 5k. I'm confident with the weather cooling down I'll be able to beat that though! I'm not sure I'll be able (or want to) improving my 10k time though! It was just my goal to finish! I never considered myself much of a runner, but I'm finding it very enjoyable. Much of running is mental and I find that the mental strength I have gained from competing helps me out greatly with racing. If you can diet for 12 weeks, you can do anything, right? I think so!

It's been good to have time off from dieting as well. I didn't realize how tired I was both physically and mentally from getting ready for shows. I know that this break in competing will pay off in the future! While I am slightly jealous of friends that are getting ready to compete in the fall season, I know it'll just give me more desire and fire to step on stage next year when I compete again!
