12 in 12: August

If you're new here, Start with The Plan then come back to this post 🏃‍♀️


Week of Race 

I didn't train for this race. I did have a nice long walk around a carnival so that counts right?!

Night before Race 

What I did do to prepare for this race was watch the weather like a hawk and pick out my outfit. #priorities 

Morning of Race 

We got to Gille Park nice and early. This is my favorite race I run. Its a hometown race and so much fun. 

Right before Race

Compared to last month's race, this race was much bigger.  We lined up and before I knew it, we were off and running. 

During the Race 

I kept saying to myself "slow and steady gab!" "you got this" "hiiiiii! (Waving to a friend!)" "oh hes cute!" "how much longer" 


After the Race 

Phew! I did it and YAY!
