Total Distance
6.50

Got to the gym by 4:45 and worked on the elliptical for 40 minutes. Talked with Julie for a few and a girl named Kristen Thorne. Both girls are injured and we all talked for a few minutes about it. It made me teary. I know how they feel having JUST gone through it.

anyways...  So I worked my core quick and came home and ran the river trail (6.50). The banks are gonna overflow this spring. It's already high and the snow hasn't even really melted yet. Yikes!

I am leaning towards running a 5k this Saturday with Allie. But there are a few races I am considering. There's the adoption 5k at Wheeler, the run like health at the U of U. There is a lame looking one in American Fork, a childrens benefit in Provo. Decisions. I'll prolly run with Allie though. She's the best! I want to test my outdoor racing fitness. I am pretty sure I am not going to be up to par like I used to be. But who knows. I always surprise even myself.

You are a freak! Only Obsessive compulsive runners cry when they hear about their friends injuries preventing them from running. I did cry when I watched St. Ralph though. It wasnt even a true story, why am I crying? oh, btw, great workout.

If I wasn't running a marathon in just over a week I'd come run the 5k with you, or should I say behind you. I hate 5k's so I rarely run them, but I would also really like to see where I am right now for that distance. Nice workout today!

That's a lot of 5k races in one weekend. They must be a big hit.

Thanks Walt!

Carina definitely one of these days soon we should all run a race together. I like running them with Allie because she's fun and funny and runs quick! I love to try and pace her. It's HARD though.

Jun you should check out the Utah running website with the race list. There is a bunch of 5k's this weekend. It's crazy. I just hope it doesn't rain. The wheeler farm 5k is on a dirt trail so that means MUD! Mud fights muwhahahahaha!

Nice workout Lily! I hope the 5K goes well for you, I think you will surprise yourself!!

Do it! Just buy something cool with the prize money...

I'd recommend Wheeler Farm. If it continues to snow, that would be your best bet.
