So proud of this woman!! Lisa ultimately just wanted to beat her training time of an hour and a half for this 10k. The TriSpan 10k is the toughest 10k I’ve ever ran as the course includes 3 bridges, 2 of which are draw bridges with the tough metal grating to run on. Each bridge is like a long hill. And then there’s the heat and humidity as you run on both sides of the Cape Fear river in downtown Wilmington. This strong woman beat her ultimate goal and set a new PR for 10k distance in her first ever 10k race by finishing it in 1 hour and 20 minutes!! That’s ten minutes faster than any of her training runs.

I knew going in I had no time goals. I’ve not been doing speed work, just distance since my hamstring injury a little over a month ago. So I just kicked it into autopilot and enjoyed the views. I didn’t PR but I had a blast. This is my runniversary race marking 6 years running! The fun and amazing part was being there to watch my baby finish! And we had the best cheer squad! #runningwithfamily 😎🐝 ⛄️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️ ⠀⠀⠀
