In August, my life was feeling overwhelming and I decided to run a 10k to have something to focus on and feel good about. I had never been a runner, but I signed up for the Sleepy Hollow Halloween 10k because I’d always seen the signs and it was one of the many events going on in the area to celebrate Halloween. I started training in August, using the couch to 10k app, and ran the race at the end of October. It was a quick training period, but I fell in love with running. Especially on the beautiful tree-lined trails near the reservoir in Tarrytown. I didn’t break any records during the race and the course was full of hills I hadn’t trained for, but I still made it in the time allotted and I’m proud that I finished. Now just to keep it going! Here are some photos from the race, as well as a video of all of the selfies I took while I was training.
