Striders 10K

My Running Girls

L to R: Becky (she wore those shorts, and kept saying, "I thought it was supposed to be the warmest day of the year!" She clearly didn't go to weather.com, ha, ha.), Me (up front), Missy (in the back), Teresa, and Lisa. Stacy was sick; get better Stac.

Well, it was worse than I even thought. Brutal, is the word we all used to describe it. It was a wonderful 10k if you have a love for steep, steep hills. We clearly don’t.

When I got out of bed today I said, “I’ll be happy if I run it in 54.” I ran it in 58 the last time I ran it, but it was a pretty comfortable run. Well, today….I though I’d throw up, ha, ha. And here’s how it went down. My time was 52:42. I finished 137 over all, 34th in women's over all, and 7th in my age group. It was great fun.

Hey, it is fun to find your blog! I saw your comments and it took me a while to figure out they were from you! I will add you to our favorites! I can't get Tom to run, but I am planning on running the Salt Lake 1/2 marathon in April...and hopefully the St. George in Oct! I didn't realize that you were a runner as well! Awesome time, 52 min...I think my fastest is 54 minutes! Brooke

Way to go! Once again, you're my hero! :) I have to loose this baby first, but I promise I will get back in shape someday. :)

Way to beat your goal time! That's awesome. I need to start working back up. I'm in the slump of 2-4 mile runs with no purpose. Time to get my buns in training! You inspired me! Brynne
