I'm not happy at all with how I ran today.  For some reason I just think I should be able to run faster than I really can.  I warmed up for about a mile before the race with Taylor.  She was running the 5k.  Michelle C. came and ran the race with me.  The pace was really easy for her and so I tried to let her do all the talking.  

The first two miles I went out too fast.  Shortly after that I was ready to be done.  Just after mile 3 one of my friends yelled that I was the 5th girl.  Then I started taking lots of walk breaks and kept getting passed.  I didn't stop at the 5 mile water stop.  I decided to just suck it up and get this thing over with.  I felt like at least I finished strong.  I am running the South Jordan 1/2 marathon in 3 days.  I think knowing that was coming up I gave myself an excuse to not push as much as I should have.  I did have stomach issues as well.  It was fun getting to hang out with everyone from the running group. My splits were 7:31, 7:15, 8:04, 8:49, 8:14, 7:28 and 6:48 pace for the .2.  Average 7:50.

Taylor did great and took 2nd place with a time of 21:05.

Sorry about the slog in the middle Julie! I wish I would've come out and joined in the fun (just ran...not registered or raced). Having a bad day and taking 10th overall and 2nd in your AG is still REALLY good! Congrats to Taylor as well - fast runner like her mom :)
