Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 28, 20, 14 and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

So this was a fun little event if I do say so myself. Got some good marathon pace work which I wanted and I felt decent, except my SI joints hurting. We started at the mouth of the canyon and went up about 5.5 and then back down past riverwoods and turned up and finished a vintage park, a really good course:) I went into today's run thinking I would feel like crap so when I felt half way decent it was a super big plus. My back started hurting about mile 7, and I started to really feel it at mile 12 but Tyler pulled me along to the finish.

I ran fairly easy with McKenzie and Julie until about mile 4 and they stopped and stretch and then I ran with Kelli's husband ( Scott ? I am bad with names) until the turn around. I stopped for a good drink and then went on my way. Started with the marathon pace stuff on the way down. Finished the race and had some fruit and went back up for my friend it was her first time going this far. So I add on more mileage that I wasn't planning on doing but I am glad I went back she needed that little extra boost. FUN DAY!!

splits 8:16, 8:03, 8:05, 8:09, 7:57, 8:40 (water break about 1 min.), 7:07, 7:00, 7:10, 7:24, 7:25, 7:39, 7:46

The path was torn up at the end so that was kind of a slow down and it cut just a bit off the total distance but my garmin had it at 13.07 so not to off. Got in the river after it is still very cold.

Josse,

THANKS for putting on this run. It was so nice to see you again. You looked so SPEEDY!!! I had a great time chatting with your mommy. She's an amazing lady. She gives me hope that I may be able to keep running 'till I'm 89.

Hope your SI feels better and you get your mojo back.
