On the Run with Bawdenmom

This was an amazing race!  My goal was to get under 2 hours.  Started with the 2:00 pace group just to make sure I was close.  Started pulling away from them about mile 4.  There were a few hills but I kicked butt on those because I am at sea level.  I was passing people like crazy!  I kept waiting to feel like I was going to crash because I was maintaing a much faster pace than normal (about 8:35-8:50) but I felt great the entire race.  My overall pace was 8:42 min/mile.  I'm pretty sure my last half was faster than the first but I'm not positive about that.  It was a great race with beautiful scenery, great support, and awesome energy!  I loved it!  1:54:03 is a 6 minute pr for me!

Long progression run on the treadmill.  I'm getting really sick of the cold because those long runs are getting harder on the TM.  The back of my right knee started to ache about mile 5 or so.  Then the ache moved to my right knee also by the end of the run.  I finished but in a little bit of pain.  Stretched in hopes to make it feel better.
