Total Distance

20.00

Wahoo!!! I did it!! I ran 6 days this week!! I am now officially celebrating!!!

Today was a great run and coarse for a long mile training run. We (Tyler and I) met up with Michelle, Josie, JaNae and Kyle at the Mapleton part before loading up and driving to the 7 mile marker from the Hobblecreek Half. We then ran up to the start line of the half marathon coarse and all the way out, giving us a total of 20 miles. My watch was not working too well on the way up so I have no idea what pace we averages (Tyler estimates about a 9:25) then we had a quick little break up top before hitting the down hill. Tyler, Michelle and Josie (aka "The Speedsters"), took off before I even had a chance to say goodbye and so I hung with JaNae and Kyle for a couple miles before taking off to do my own thing. I stopped a few time and forgot to stop my watch so according to the watch, it showes an average pace of 8:02, but I think I was really more around 7:45-7:55 while running. When all was said and done, I was only a minute later then when I finished the Hobble Creek half, so I felt really good about that. Now we get to start tapering so I am prety excited for that!!

Thanks again to all for a great day of running and helping me get in 6 full days this week for the first time ever!!! Good Week!!!

Oh, P.S. If any of you get a chance, check out Michelle's post. If you read it very carefully there is a part that talks about her having a hard time keeping up with me, really!!! I am not lying :D, just thought you would all like to know that, ha ha ha~

It was very nice to meet and talk with you. And great job on the run, only a min. slower that is great. And wearing down Michelle at the end. SG is going to be a blast can't wait.

Yeah! You did it! 20 miles and 6 days of running! You ROCK my sister. Most excellent way to take on Michelle :) I want to be you, but with glazed dougnuts :) Have a GREAT rest day :)

Wow, I am super impressed. That is so fast. I think you need to be my pacer for the St George Marathon---I will be looking for you!

Josse: It was so nice meeting you, I really enjoyed visiting with you and finally putting a face with a name. You are a great runner and I have learned a lot from you and your blog. I hope that we get to run together again soon.

Marion: Thanks for the post. It was a great week and I feel that I benefited from it tremendously! You get some chocolate cake donuts and come out to SGM, I think I can definitely qualify for Boston!! Actually I think I am equally excited about the huge piece of bread they give you at the end of marathon with an inch of butter on it. The best part is you just got done running a marathon so there is absolutely NO GUILT!! Those are good times!

Kelli: I do not want to hold you back, but I would love to pace with you at SGM. If you are serious, you just let me know and we will meet up when we get down there. But not pressure. I was actually told to get with the 3:30 group and try to hang with them, so I am thinking that is what I might do, we will have to see. Where are you guys staying (you can private email me if you prefer). Any tarantulas out today? I guess you are posting so that is a good sign :)

Still alive---we only even saw one other person today, and no killer spiders.

3:30!! Wow, but I do think that is where you belong. Really, I am not shooting that high---like I said, you are faster!

We are staying in my great aunts house (she has 2) in Washington---just kind of over by the mall.
