Last minute fill in for the 2 hour pacer at the Top of Utah Half. The average pace (9:09) is a little slower than I am used to so I was concerned about keeping the pace in check. Took 3 miles to lock into what it was supposed to feel like. At that point were were 10 seconds ahead of pace. Kept that cushion the rest of the way until the last mile when we slowed to encourage the runners just behind us to pass us and beat 2 hours. Ended up crossing the finish line in exactly 2 hours (actually over shot but 1/10th of a second). Cooled down with Rachelle, Allie and Kelli for 3 miles.
Saturday night I ran/walked the Sundae Run at This is the Place with Becky and her kids. Had no intention of participating but decided to hang out with them. Ended up running quite a bit more than I expected with her daughter. We probably ran half and walked half. I skipped the free sundae at the end. Partly because I didn't pay the entry fee and mostly because I saw a picture of me at the lake. Holy cow have I put on a lot of weight. I really need to find the will power to commit to healthier eating. |
