Ran the orem turkey trot today. Got up and warmed up a couple miles with Tara and Julie C from the blog. I am good friends with Tara (we ran together in highschool and college) so it was fun to see her and it reminded me of old times . Anyway, I was excited to run and see how fast i could do it, considering it was a flat course. First split was 5:59. It felt pretty relaxed, but i was in 4th place with the first two girls way ahead and one girl (which i found out after the race was Melody-from the blog) just ahead of me. Second split was 6:04. Still feeling good, but the top two girls are even farther ahead and Melody is still just barely ahead. Third mile was 6:17, (hardest mile by far). I was trying to catch Melody, but she just slowly kept getting further and further aahead of me. (She is super speedy!) 4th mile was 5:43. Felt strong coming in and was happy with my time. Sheesh, it was tough competition today! Cooled down with Devra, Tara and Melody- met her for the first time and it was nice to put a face with the name! (such a nice girl!, Devra too) Good job to all who ran!
