I ran on the treadmill at work this morning.  1 mile warm up, 3 miles at an 8:00 pace and then 1/2 mile cool down.

It's been a busy week.  I had class start Monday and a graduation Wednesday.  I feel like I can finally relax.  

I ran on the treadmill at work.  The pace was easy with a minute at 8:00 every mile.

I'm writing this report over a month later.  I know I'll be mad at myself if I don't record some of the details I remember. I went up by myself and got on the second bus going up to the top.  It was pretty cold at the top.  I wrapped up in my mylar blanket, laid my garbage bag on the side of the mountain and just tried to rest until the race started.  Another bus got high centered on the way up and caused the race to delayed.  I had hoped to run with the 3:35 pace group, but I could never see them at the beginning.  

I tried to just to just keep the pace under control.  My splits were:

Miles 1-5  8:03, 7:54, 7:38, 7:32, 7:27 (5 miles in 38:36)

Miles 6-10 7:30, 7:40, 9:45, 7:39, 8:04   (10 miles in 1:19) (I had to wait in line for the porta potty at mile 8 forever.  It was frustrating, but I had no choice)

Miles 11-15  7:46, 7:44, 7:28, 7:48 9:24 (15 miles in 1:59) (Another porta potty stop at mile 15)

Miles 16-20 8:02, 8:24, 8:17, 8:33, 10:06 (20 miles in 2:42) (The wheels started coming off just before mile 20.  My legs were beat and I was falling apart.)

Miles 21-25 11:41, 12:16, 11:21, 11:56, 10:43 (25 miles in 3:40) (I obviously was walking more than I was running.  I was so disappointed in myself and I hated this section of the race.)

Miles 26 and last long .37 9:50 and 9:01 pace for the .37 (The good news is I did pass 2 girls that I had been leap frogging with for several miles.  That helped me push hard at the end.

My awesome sister Angela ran the 1/2 and waited around for me to finish.  I was so happy to see her there.  She's the best.

There were a lot of things I liked about this race, but I don't know if I will do it again for awhile.
