Today was our SJ half marathon, one we set up ourselves, nothing official. We had a large group at 6:00am at Bingham High, which was nice. When I finished about 1:54 later, just about everyone had left. Where were the after race festivites? We'll have to work on that next time.
Anyway, we all started out in the dark and ran up 9800 So. to Glenmoor, back down to 40th West, to 118th So., to 2700 W., 114th So., to 2200 W. back to Bingham. I ran behind Cheris and Jody most of the way until they decided to pick up the pace and leave me in the dust. I was on my own from about 118th to the finish. Michelle N.'s super nice husband handed out water to us at three different places, that was really great, thanks Jared and Michelle. I would say aerobically I felt ok, but my legs just didn't want to move as fast as I wanted them to move. I need to work more on flexibility and strength. I looked at my shadow and my legs looked stiff, no real bounce or energy to them. Oh well, there's always something that needs work. It was fun to do that run and thanks to all who came out to support it.
It seemed like everyone else was running extra and putting in extra miles, so after I went to my boy's football game and did a few domestic activities, I ran about 4 more miles. BYU won so all is well at my house.
