I bought this running skirt, that my teenage daughter talked my into, and I was about to chicken out and NEVER wear it and return it back to the store, but then somebody bribbed me. They promised me they would do a sprint Tri with me, if I wore that running skirt out on a run. Well, my desire to have someone do the Tri with me overode my desire to look presentable in public.
RAD invited me to the RHPC run on Provo canyon. I heard that Provo canyon was a fantastic run, so decided to give it a go. It was really amazing. I was going to do the 10k run, but I once I reached the 10k mark, I thought hey- I can do more than just a 10k. My 10k turned into a 10mile run. My first 10 mile run, maybe that running skirt is lucky :) I listened to Radio RAD on the way up and my i-pod on the way down. Enjoyed it all until I got lost at the end, because by then my knees were complaining. Glad I had my cell phone with me- RAD helped me find my way back. She was at the finish line by the time I got there because she ran the 13 miles faster than I ran the 10 miles. Oops. The folks that put on the run did a nice job, things like that take a lot of effort and it was much appreciated.
