As I read other bloggers (such as Miss Zippy) recount their #BestRun, I can’t help of course but think of myself. After I started running 2 years ago, I can’t help but think that most of my best days involve either friends, family, food or running. If I’m lucky, I got all four. What makes a great run?
Running your first Marathon, qualifying for Boston on a time that was 30 minutes faster than ever expected?
Winning a race? Or 2nd place to winning for me?
Or watching your brother finish his first 10K! I love creating running addicts!
Running something I didn’t think I was capable of, like a 6 hour trail race covered in snow?
Or using a race as an excuse for a weekend getaway to Montreal?
Just reflecting back makes me wish I was in my running shoes, hitting the pavement instead of just reminiscing. As of today, I’ve run 773 miles during 2013 alone. Picking a “best” run would be an insult to all the other miles threaded even the wet miserable ones. I’ve had many great runs, but I know my #BestRuns are still ahead of me. Especially as I continue to surround myself with amazing friends and family like the ones below and many more that I continue to meet on trails and pavement.
Oh I love this post! I think there are “best” runs for all sorts of reasons. It’s not always the best b/c it was an easier run or gorgeous weather. Sometimes the best ones are also the hardest.
I love this post! You are an amazing runner and you’re so right, it would be an insult to call any one event your best run!
Awesome! You are one talented runner and I’m sure you are right–the best is yet to come.
Thanks for linking up!
Wow! I can’t believe you have only been running for two years! You definitely seem like you have been a runner your whole life!
You’ve had such an amazing running life so far!! Incredible! I think BestRuns are any run that personally means something to you. I love that you get excited about others running their first race! And I bet you still have so many things that will surprise you about your abilities. Go girl!
