I was in Park City for a family reunion so Jerry and I decided to go trail running.  It was tough.  I fell once and landed hard on my arm.  We did a lot of climbing.  My garmin said 10.5 but I think I lost the signal and it was probably really more.  We ran for 2 hours.

6 easy miles on the trail.  I ran into Michelle and CJ at 3 miles so I turned around and ran back with them.   Average pace 9:04.

Met the BBK's at Bingham.  I felt so tired.  The last few miles were really tough.  Average pace 8:27.

4 easy miles with some fast pick-ups thrown in. Some huge dog decided he wanted to play with me and jumped on my back twice almost knocking me over. I've been in some kind of "funk" for the past two months. After the 10k tomorrow, I'm going to get myself out of it. I'm going to do whatever I can to get my motivation back.

I went into this race with low expectations.  I decided I would push hard from the beginning and just hold on as long as I could.  I ended up with a PR by 13 seconds.  I'm so happy with my time.  I think this was just what I needed to get me motivated again.

Michelle picked me up at 4:45 to drive to the start.  We met up with Rachel, Teena, Smooth, Jody and Bec.  I just love these ladies.  They are the reason I run.    When the gun went off I took off.  I didn't even look at my pace.  I just ran by feel and I felt great.  By mile 3 I was feeling tired.  I ran next to Bec for a little bit.  She looked so strong.  I wish I could have kept up with her.  Shortly after that I started running with Tim.  It was great to have someone to push me.  We stayed together until shortly before the finish where he had more of kick left than I did. 

That last 1.2 miles were tough.  I wanted to walk so bad.  My splits were:

6:33, 6:33, 7:09, 7:06, 7:12, 7:46, and 7:43 avg for the final .2.

We hung out watched the marathon winners come in.  We were so excited when we say Allie.  She is amazing.

Great long run with some great company.  I met up with Michelle, CJ, Teena, Smooth, NancyR, Josh and a few others in West Jordan.  We ran down to the JRP trail at 7000 S.  My legs were tired from the race, but the pace felt good.  Average pace 8:58.
