I'M GOING TO BOSTON!!!!!  What a great day.  I was hoping for a 3:30, but I am thrilled with my time.  The weather was horrible.  It was raining and there was a headwind for most of the race.  Angela and I couldn't find Michelle N, Michelle M, or Cheris at the start.  I was so bummed.  I really wanted to start with them.  We lined up near the 3:30 pace group, but it was so dark we lost them right after the start.  I saw the girls on Veyo.  I was so excited to see them.   I took 2 bathroom breaks at just after the 5 mile mark and just before 13.  

 My splits were 8:29, 8:16, 7:51, 7:46, 7:55, 8:15, 7:28, 8:55, 8:31, 8:26, 8:38, 8:43, 8:25, 8:05, 7:45, 7:40, 7:57, 8:09, 8:41, 8:07, 7:43, 8:30, 8:20, 8:03, 8:46, 8:36 and 2:10. 

My sister Angela was wonderful.  Her only goal was to help me qualify for Boston.  She had only been running 2 sometimes 3 times a week to train.  She was able to stay with me until just after mile 23.  I was so happy to have her with me that whole time.  I ended up finishing about 2 minutes before her.  Michelle caught up to me at mile 25 and she looked great.  She really helped push me that last mile.  I had a 1/2 a gu at mile 5, 1/2 a gu at mile 7, gu at 13, gu at 19, and then I had a Jolly Rancher at mile 22.  I drank gatorade at the stops that I didn't gu.  I didn't have anything to drink the last 4 miles.  I never hit the wall.  The extra miles in training made a huge difference.

Everyone from our running group did great.  I feel so lucky to have such a great group of friends to run with.

I ran 5 easy miles this morning in the wind.  After running St. George, todays 7 MPH winds didn't seem all that bad.  Everything feels great.  I am so surprised that I have had very little soreness.   I was thinking today of what a great summer this has been.  I have been running for 7 years.  This year I have set PR's in every race distance.  I hope I have more PR's left in me.

I ran 6 easy miles on the Jordan River trail after taking my son to football practice.  The first 3 miles were very slow, then I picked it up a little.

Cycle class at the gym.  This was the first cycle class I have done in about 3 months.  My heart rate got up to 190 several times.  It was tough, but I felt really good.

I met Michelle N., Cheris, Angela and Jody at the trail at 5:45.  I had to be done early to take my son to football.  Thanks girls for going so early for me.  It was a good run.  My legs were pretty tired and hamstrings were tight.   I ran 7.35 at the trail.  Before the football game started I ran another 2.65 including a big hill.  Average pace 8:50.

I ran with the BBK's this morning.  It was a good run.  A few times the pace seemed especially fast for me.  My garmin showed one mile at a 6:33 average.  I don't know if my garmin was way off or what.  Average pace 8:01.  (Although Jody said her garmin showed an 8:18 average.  I like mine better.)

9:00 am cycle class at the gym.  I forgot my heart rate monitor.  That was almost as bad as running without my Garmin.

Cycle class at the gym.  (Hills with Doc)  I got an extra 15 minutes of cycling before class started.  Average HR 155.  I'm going to try really hard to not eat as much Halloween candy as I usually do.  I even waited until today to buy it.

Happy Halloween everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
