I love these hometown races where I can show up 15 minutes before the start. 

I decided to start with Michelle M. and Dean.  Their plan was to start slower and pick it up as they went.  I knew I wouldn't be able to keep up with them, but it was it great to run with them as long as I did.

1- 8:09 Planned on running slower, but the pace felt easy.

2- 7:57 Same

3- 7:44

4- 7:50 big hill in this one

5- 7:46  had a gu just before the water stop.  Saw Kelli and Rachael at the stop.

6- 7:32 I watched Michelle and Dean fly down the hill.  No way I could keep up.  I saw Taylor's XC Teammate Michael going up the big trail hill.  He looked strong.  I figured he'd pass me back after the hill.

7- 7:46

8- 7:44 I saw Cheryl and Michelle in this mile cheering us on.  I loved seeing everyone from our group.  It helped a ton.

9- 7:52

10- 8:10 I could feel myself struggling here.  My stomach was really hurting. 

11- 8:29 We were running into the wind.  It really took a lot out of me.

12- 8:09 I got passed back by two girls I had passed a little earlier.  I wish I was more competitive.  I really didn't care that they passed me.  One of them was in my age group too.

13- 7:52 So glad to almost be done.

.1- avg pace 6:43

I wanted a 1:43, so I am happy with my time.  It was a very organized race.  Our group wore blue and salmon colored ribbons in honor of Lisa's husband who passed away 3 weeks ago.

Way to go Julie. I figured that is why I didn't see you. You were still asleep (JK) as I arrived at the park. Then you probably had your shower done before my cooldown miles were over :D. Totally loved the neighborhoods you all get to run through and the Parkway trail. Way to get your goal. : D

Julie congrats! I love the home town races as well. I feel terrible about Lisa's Husband. I saw everyone sheeding tears and had no idea why. I never knew him but I hope that she can feel some piece. Good friends always help.

GREAT JOB JULIE!!!!! I loved cheering all of you runners on, it was fun. I am working on getting some pictures up on my blog, I have some great ones of your sprint to the finish!!!

It is funny what you say about not being competitive, I wish I was like that! I chose to sit this one out just because I am so darn competitive!! So, teach me to be more like you!!!
