Race: Riverton 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:47:29, Place overall: 10, Place in age division: 3

I havn't felt all that great since I've been home from Cancun.   So this wasn't my best race, but I'm happy with my time.  It was fun to be able to volunteer again this year.   I was afraid I wouldn't make to start in time.  We sprinted over and just made it.  I felt decent the whole time, just not fast.  This race is fun because at the turn around you can see all the people ahead and behind you.  I loved seeing all the people from our group.  They did great.  My splits were 7:47, 7:34, 7:34, 7:46, 8:03, 7:30 and 1:07 for the last .2. 

I talked my 3 kids into running the 2.2 mile fun run.  They didn't even complain about having to go an hour and 15 minutes early while I helped with the registration.  They had so much fun running.  My daughter Taylor (16) finished in 17:10 and took 3rd overall.  Alex (14) finished in 19:07.  Austin (10) finished in 17:43 and took 2nd in his age group. 

It was fun knowing they would be there to cheer me on at the finish.

Met the BBK's at Bingham.  I got there early and ran around the parking lot until the others came.  During the warm up a few of us took a wrong turn.  Michelle and I had to climb over 2 fences to get back to the school.  Then Cheryl had us run 4 minutes fast with 2 minutes recovery.  We did that for a while.  Then we did a 2.3 mile tempo run.  We recovered and then ran a fast finish sprint back to the school.  I cooled down for a 1/4 mile around  the track.   Average pace for the first 4 miles 9:58.  Average pace for the last 7.8 miles was 8:10.

What a fun race/training run.  Kelli was so sweet and invited Michelle and I to be a part of this.  It was great to finally meet some of the other bloggers.  The first 5.4 miles were uphill on the trail.  I ran with Michelle, Kelli, and Krystal.  Shortly after the turn around, I had to make a potty stop.  I was sad to lose those guys but what do you do.  The weather was great.  Thanks to all you great ladies for putting this on.  It was awesome.

Met the BBK's at the bottom of Suncrest.  We warmed up for about 2.5 miles on hills.  Then we ran 3.5 miles up to the top and turned around and ran back down.  I ran up with Angela until she had to leave, then I ran down with Rachel.  We cooled down around the church until we hit 10 miles.  The company was great.  Average pace 9:35.

I was in Park City for a family reunion so Jerry and I decided to go trail running.  It was tough.  I fell once and landed hard on my arm.  We did a lot of climbing.  My garmin said 10.5 but I think I lost the signal and it was probably really more.  We ran for 2 hours.

4 easy miles with some fast pick-ups thrown in. Some huge dog decided he wanted to play with me and jumped on my back twice almost knocking me over. I've been in some kind of "funk" for the past two months. After the 10k tomorrow, I'm going to get myself out of it. I'm going to do whatever I can to get my motivation back.

I went into this race with low expectations.  I decided I would push hard from the beginning and just hold on as long as I could.  I ended up with a PR by 13 seconds.  I'm so happy with my time.  I think this was just what I needed to get me motivated again.

Michelle picked me up at 4:45 to drive to the start.  We met up with Rachel, Teena, Smooth, Jody and Bec.  I just love these ladies.  They are the reason I run.    When the gun went off I took off.  I didn't even look at my pace.  I just ran by feel and I felt great.  By mile 3 I was feeling tired.  I ran next to Bec for a little bit.  She looked so strong.  I wish I could have kept up with her.  Shortly after that I started running with Tim.  It was great to have someone to push me.  We stayed together until shortly before the finish where he had more of kick left than I did. 

That last 1.2 miles were tough.  I wanted to walk so bad.  My splits were:

6:33, 6:33, 7:09, 7:06, 7:12, 7:46, and 7:43 avg for the final .2.

We hung out watched the marathon winners come in.  We were so excited when we say Allie.  She is amazing.

Great long run with some great company.  I met up with Michelle, CJ, Teena, Smooth, NancyR, Josh and a few others in West Jordan.  We ran down to the JRP trail at 7000 S.  My legs were tired from the race, but the pace felt good.  Average pace 8:58.

I ran an easy 3.5 miles down to the trail.  I saw Jerry so I turned around and ran back to the car with him.  The last 1.5 miles were a little faster at an 8:15 avg pace.

Met the BBK's at 9800 S. and 2200 W.  There were only 8 of us today.  We warmed  up very slowly for 4 miles.  Then we ran uphill to 4800 W. at marathon pace.  Then we did 2 half mile repeats at 5k pace (close to 6:30's).  Then we ran back down at a 7:30 pace and cooled down for the last mile.  I ran with Michelle M., Chris and Tonya.  It was a great run.  Average pace 8:36.
