Oh what a morning! I woke up in a horrible mood and really did not want to go run a race. Ask my hubby, I was a just little onry this morning (poor guy he puts up with alot!).
But anyways I ran to the race start, passed Dave Holt on the way and ran some with him before the race. I did 4.18 miles to warmup and the whole time I am thinking "how in the world am I going to run any faster than what I am going right now!" which was around an 8min/mile. My legs were so tired and felt trashed. Started the race, it was a double out and back-it was a challenging course mentally and physically. It was fairly flat with some some rollers on the trail and it was pretty warm. My garmin ended up measuring long, along with everyone elses. Measured 6.43 mi's. I defintely did not push myself as hard as i could have. I had no other girls around me and I lost motivation and my legs were jello. I am kinda embarressed of my time but its my own fault for not being tougher out there. It was fun to see Logan, Steve, Clyde and Bill helping with the race. It was definetely stranger to not see them running in the race. Thank you for all your help with the race guys and for not letting us get lost on the course!
