Total Distance
11.20

Is it silly that I always post my exact mileage, like to the tenth mile? I mean, should I just round down to 11 or maybe I should round up to the nearest half??  Really, let me know if there is a correct way to do that :). Today's run was one to talk about and SO MUCH FUN (Thank you again Kim for letting me know about it).  So, I woke up at 4:30 (I think this is the earliest I have woken up in a long time, and a first related to running, aside from the maraton I guess).  I met up with the Spanish Fork Running club for their weekly and my first stab at the Payson Canyon run.  There ended up being 16 of us total so we piled (literally piled) into a suburban to start our drive 11 miles up the canyon.  I swear it took us longer to get up the canyon then it did to run down it (you know how that feels when you are driving and driving and driving and it seems like an eternity).   But it was a great way to start the morning.  The weather was perfect, the company was perfect and I felt really good this morning.  My ankle is still kind of hurting me and I had a few aches in my hips, but all in all, IT WAS GREAT!!  Here are the splits

1. 7:50
2. 7:39
3. 7:44
4. 8:20 (small pit stop and water break between 4&5)
5. 9:33
6. 7:27
7. 7:52
8. 8:19
9. 8:29
10. 8:53
11. 8:05
last .19 miles at 7:19 (way to go out strong right?)   Avg pace= 8:11

Thanks again to all for letting JaNae and I come along.  I think it's a great way to prep us for SG and would love to do it again soon! Here's to a Happy Wednesday :)

Great job honey, I am glad that you were able to get up and go. I have been impressed that you are getting out of bed and going. Monday I thought there would be a definate phone call to Janae for a cancelation. So way to prove me wrong. You better start making airline reservations to BOSTON.

Great job on your run! How do you have time to do that with three kids and a job? That is really impressive to me. Good luck on your training for the SG marathon. Last year I hooked up with the 3:30 pace group and it was great. The pacer would tell you when to slow down or speed up, and how to sip water while running through the water stations. Thanks for all you've done for Steve and I! We really appreciate it. Nate said that you were the best, and he was right!

Amber, Thank you so much for the nice comment and the advice about the pacer. I have really been nervous about the whole "qualifying" thing. I think i will take your advice and find that 3:30 group and hope to stay relatively close to them.

It helps working with great clients such as yourselves so thank you for making my job so much fun. I will be talking to you soon!!!
