I'm trying something new today, well let me be real.. I've been trying something new everyday lately and loving!!!  We will talk more about all the other new stuff later. Today I am trying my first linkup. I've linked up with Deb Runs  for her Wednesday Word . The rules are simple and I'm excited to add to the blog. Please let me know what you think by commenting below. Today's word is : Imagination  Imagination is a powerful tool. It's fueled by creativity and the freedom to be uniquely you. I embrace my imagination. I enjoy our times together in far away lands. Dancing to the drums in the amazon but home in time for dinner every night. Singing with my ancestors down in the Bayou while attending corporate meetings. My imagination, ooh she is a strong one. She takes me through PRs on my runs, hitting paces I've never run.. was that 5:10 oh my slow down. I've run the Wall of China, skipped through sugar cane fields with my grandfather in Cuba.  

Carytown has a special spot in my heart. When I started on my race journey I decided that I wanted to test myself with a road race. i reached out to an avid runner friend of mine and he advised me to get a real good gauge on how I am I should run a small race. After some internet searches I came across the Richmond Road Runners and their series of races. The next one being the Carytown 10k, so a few clicks and $30 later I was signed up and ready to go. I wasn't blogging back then so let me give you a little bit more history.  There I am, a new runner just out for a run. The first race it rained. Nothing crazy but enough to teach me a lot about road running. I completed that race in 1:08:37. I was so proud and decided medal or no medal I would be back... plus I love the shirts they hand out!  Flash Forward one year, a half marathon and a lot of confidence. I asked my running bff at the time to run with me. We went out and I did it again. Another great race.
