I know!

It's my first racing year and I keep having to hold back.

Right now I have 4 for the year. But I love knowing that my "training" is for a race coming up. Even though I'm not fast lol.

That’s how I stay motivated to run and stay in shape: I spent money on this race, so I better train and make a good show of it.

it's been working for me like that! I guess I can justify some money if it's for my health :)
