Brought the family up to Ogden with Ericka, still nursing a baby so I had to bring them. I prefer not to cause I don't get sleep with everyone there. My baby didn't want to sleep in the crib at the hotel so I had to put him in bed with me. I didn't sleep well and haven't slept well for the last couple nights. I was feeling pretty hammered when I got up. But I didn't feel as bad as I thought I would. Rode the bus up with Ericka, the temps weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. It was actually perfect running temps. We sat around for a while and then warmed up a mile. I was going to go more but didn't. They started the race about 10 mins. late. Going into the race I just wanted to run a solid 10 miles and I thought I was capable of running a 1:37. I also wanted to start it out easy the first couple of miles. I feel like I did a pretty good job at accomplishing everything I set out to do. Started the race in shorts, tank and gloves and took the gloves off around 6. 1-7:48 felt easy 2-7:41 still just nice and easy 3-7:30 4-7:23 5-7:03 and the down hill starts:) 6-7:21 still feel good 7-7:16 8-7:10 9-6:59 picking people off 10-6:55 still picking people off 11-7:22 down hill is all over and I know I have to dig deep to keep it together cause my legs are starting to feel it. 12-7:39 pretending I feel better than the next person so I can pass them faster than they are going, but this is hard. 13-7:37 still able to pass some people:) .22 1:33 kick it in (watch got .22 for the end, my watch always get this course long) racing a guy that just doesn't want me to beat him. We cross together and I my legs almost give out. I was pleased with this and feel I am on my way....... 1:37:19 for 13.22/7:22
