My goal was to try to get under the 3:30 barrier. I was setting my pace for 7:50 (per mile), and I pretty much stayed on that for the entire time.

I think that I did everything right nutritionally leading up to the race. I was ready, mentally and physically. I think a lot of it was just training smarter and not overtraining.

It was a change of scenery for me. I felt like I had spent so much time running on trails that I wanted to see what it was like running on the road.

The point of having goals is to find happiness. If you miss the little things that can make you happy, then you’ve failed. Don’t look too far ahead. What you are looking for just might be right for you.

To make the morning & day meaningful set a realistic goal for the day. It helps you focus on what you want to dedicate for the day. Setting a target in the morning allows you to channel your energy to something you find meaningful.
