Ran the farmington turkey trot today. Got there with no time to warm up so I just parked and ran up to the start line. There was about 250 runners. The race started and this little girl bolted out, of course I thought she would die after a bit but then I started noticing her stride and form and realized she was legit. (I can always notice if a runner is legit by their form) anyway, she went out too fast for me so I decided to run my own race and hope she slowed down. First mile was 6:07 and she already had me by 35 seconds or so. 2nd mile has some good uphill. This split was 6:43. Not as fast as I would have liked. At the 2 mile mark I realized I was gaining on her. I worked to try and get her but ran out of time/distance. My 3rd mile was 6:20. She beat me by about 15 seconds. Talked to the cute tiny girl after. (I was at least a head taller) and she was 15! From Albuquerque. She placed 2nd in state about 2 weeks ago. Anyway, she ran tough. She will be really good!!!! Kind of bummed I didn't run a little better/stronger today. Oh well. I did get a free pair of shoes so that is a bonus.
