Total Distance

6.00

Met with Michelle and Ali this morning in SF for a morning run. I assumed it was going to be cold especially factoring in the wind on the SF bench, so I layered up fully equip with gloves and a beanie. However after about a whole 4 minutes of running realized that we are still having 70 degree mid day temperatures resulting in warmer mornings and unnecessary layering (hence the reason Michelle was in shorts) gees Kellie, where were you on that one? Kind of Funny!! It was so much fun running with these girls though and we had some very fun and interesting conversations to help the time just roll on by. I wondered why I was huffing and puffing the whole time (I didn't look at my watch one time to check pace) but later found out when I looked at our splits:

7:58, 7:46, 7:49, 8:20 (little slower while Michelle made a potty break, I can't remember the abbreviated term for this), 8:57 (huge, monstrous, enormous hill at the end, at least it felt that way), 8:03 to end it off!

Michelle and Ali didn't seem to be phased much by the pace, they are my idols! What a great way to start a day. I need to run with these speedsters more often to keep pushing myself and improving my pace, etc. Thanks gals! Now, back to work :)

I didn't look at my watch at all during the run, but you didn't seem to be winded to me, or I would have eased up. I guess that means sub-8:00's just fine for you :) Wha-ha-ha! (evil laugh)

Great spilts!! I am so jealous you live close enough to Michelle to run with her. She is my idol too!!!

Hi, Kellie! Thanks for your advice! I have been a runner forever...just a cruiser though. So, I'm totally psyched about getting faster and trying to qualify for Boston. I noticed that you qualified this year...GOOD JOB!! SO inspiring! I can't even wait to pick up the pace. Noticed that you record your mile times...how do you keep track and remember all that?

Hey Court,

I just have one of those Garmin watches that tracks your mileage and pace, etc. They are very handy and now that I am used to running with one, I can't run without it. However, I have to turn it over to my husband for all of the programming because I am challenged in that department :). In any event, they are very nice to have!! Keep up the good work~

Okay, everyone is leaving me in the dust. Oh well!! Great run, and you are going to be amazing next race, you scare me!

Check out this post that Jon found about the Onion Days race. Who was the cutie pie, you or me???

Dang, I actually tried to comment on Saturday night from my cell phone but it looks like it didn't work. So, sorry about the delay in getting back to you. This is funny!! I got on and read the post and have to automatically assume that you are the CUTIE PIE he is referencing to because Me, running in the rain, huffing and puffing in attempts to keep up with the bodacious babeliscious, boston bound beauty from Riverton is about the furthest thing from Cute!! I can just picture what my face ,ust have looked like around the end of that race, ha ha, it makes me laugh out loud! Thanks for the fun read!!
