Met Kim. Drove separately to Riverton for their city 10k. Great course. Follows the ending of the half marathon course but in a back and out fashion. Warmup for 1.8 miles. Mighty windy. First half more downhill. Pretty hilly all around. Knew Kim would win. She did. I came in third overall ($10 gift card to SLC Running store). I actually had some speed saved up from holding back and ran the last .24 miles @ a 6:13 pace. Throughout the whole race I thought I might start walking or DNF but mustered the will to run through the pain. This pain is not normal. Whatever it is. It is continous pulsating throbbing pain in both buttocks and the lower back. Inner thighs numbish as well as lower back and front of abdomen. Pelvis very unstable. Pain scale 8 during run. Geez!! Slept a broken six hours and that just does not make up for the lack of Zzzzs. Plan to sleep and sleep the next two nights. Only 5 weeks left until dayshift : D. AP for 6.2 = 7:12. Do not feel the least bit worked in any other area of my body except my foggy brain. If only I could get rid of this pain....time to go to another Dr. visit. My bishop is a Family Practice Doctor. He was just called as bishop last month and he said he would see me and LOOK AT THE WHOLE PICTURE!! (my husband is his exec. sec so he asked him) It is so difficult to go to a dr. and come out with prescriptions but no answers hence why the huge delay here.

Great job today. It was fun to chat with you after the race. I really hope you get that pain figured out. You're an amazing runner.

WOW! You are one tough cookie racing with so much pain! AWESOME time and not even pushing sooner! CONGRATZ on the win and overall placement! YOU ARE AMAZING!

I'm glad you'll be working days and get to a semi-normal sleep pattern. I sure hope your bishop/doc. have some good answers for you so you can get rid of that pain once and for all. HAPPY 4th of July!
