I met the BBKs at Bingham.  I didn't make it to the early miles thinking I would run more miles after but that didn't happen.

Cheryl was in charge and I always love her workouts.  We started out doing a 3 mile progressive run.  Those miles were 8:46, 7:55, and 7:30.  Then we regrouped and ran over to a neighborhood to the West since the track was locked.  We did some fast repeats around the square with recovery between.  Then we ran another mile and finished back at the school.  It was nice to finally feel like I could run some faster times today.  My legs have been pretty tired the past few weeks.  The final three miles were 8:10, 7:28, and 8:22. 

I had the day off work.  It was fun visiting family.

I really liked this course.  Other than the nasty headwind and having to go to the bathroom twice, I had a good day.  I was excited to run with my sister.  We stayed together until I had to make my first bathroom stop right after mile 4.  I made a second bathroom stop at mile 8.  The last 3 miles I started picking girls to pass.  That last girl I passed we were in a sprint to the finish and I barely beat her.  That was fun.  After the race, my sister and I compared our mile splits.  They were very close other than the two miles I stopped.  I need to get faster at stopping.  She finished 2 minutes ahead of me.

 

My splits were: 7:41, 7:31, 7:50, 7:50, 9:00 (bathroom stop), 7:35, 7:43, 9:48(2nd bathroom stop that took way too long), 7:35, 7:50, 8:02, 7:52, 7:55, and a 6:43 pace for the finish.
