Seacoast Half

The Seacoast Half Marathon was this morning, which, after all is said and done, ended up being a pretty satisfying day for me. There's a lot I want to say about the race as it unfolded, specifics on strategy and the mental battles going on in my brain, but I want to leave that for my next post when I have the chance to digest the race for 24-48 hours. I wanted to stick with the basics and say that I'm feeling especially grateful to be able to run at this level again. That's about it. No doubt I have a long road to keep improving, but this was a major stepping stone for me in both a mental and physical sense. I know deep down that I have a higher ceiling that I haven't touched yet. I have a lot more to give. Now things will really start to crank up for me as I head into the real marathon building phase with about three months until the Trials. I'll leave it at that for now.
