I met Cheris, Michelle C. and Jameson at Riverton Park.  We warmed up for about 1.7 miles, then we did a 35 minutes tempo run mostly on the 1/2 course.  Then we cooled down until we hit 7 miles.  The tempo and cool down miles were 7:44, 7:41, 8:07 (this mile has lovers lane and the hill), 7:42, 8:26 and 8:35.

We dropped my boy off at the airport this morning at 5:45.  It was the hardest thing I've ever done.  I'm going to miss him so much.  I hope the next two years go by fast.  I had thought about running after, but I was too emotionally drained.

I woke to the sound of rain.  Taylor and I were volunteers and had to be to the park at 5:30.  It was a little chaotic before the race.  I didn't get a warm up, so I decided to just take the first mile nice and easy.  It was very humid this morning.  I didn't really have a time goal in mind.  I just ran.  I hate to admit that I even walked two or three times, but never for more than a few seconds.  I really need to start putting in more miles.  I can't believe the Big Cottonwood marathon is only 2 1/2 months away.  That makes me nervous.  Anyway, I feel like I finished strong.  It's hard to believe that I ran this race over three minutes faster a few years ago.  Oh well.  My miles were 7:52, 7:29, 7:48, 7:54, 8:21 (this is mile I walked a few times), 7:48 and 7:12 pace for the final .28.  I always measure this course a little long.  Average 7:51.  

I came home and cooled down with Taylor for a mile.  She took 2nd overall in the 5k.  Sadly, runnercard had her listed in the 1 mile fun run and they gave her plaque away to someone else before she could say anything.

Jared drove us 12 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon this morning and dropped me, Michelle and Kris off.  We then ran down the canyon.  It was a little scary a few times.  There was some kind of a bike race going on.  Luckily, they were are going uphill.  I never felt all that fantastic.  At the bottom, Kris left and Michelle and I ran another 6 miles back to the car at Cottonwood High School.  We wanted to get a feel of how hard the marathon will be once we come out of the canyon.  I was tired, but it didn't feel too bad and we still maintained a decent pace.  We finished in 2:26:03. Miles were 8:19, 8:04, 8:01, 8:18, 8:21, 8:04, 7:34, 7:47, 7:41, 7:49, 7:46, 7:58 (last canyon mile), 8:01 8:19, 8:21, 8:34, 8:32, 8:25.  Average 8:07.  I was very nervous about the cars and bikes which I know slowed me down quite a bit.
