Oh I love this "race". In case you don't know, none of us really race it. We run up Provo Canyon chatting. That is the beauty of it. So the first half was pretty slow running and talking and enjoying the beauty of Provo Canyon. The bikers are mean, but the runners on that trail are all smiley and warm.I ran with Mckenzie, Aubery and MichelleL the first half. At the turn around we all shared some of my fuel (banana strawberry chews). At around 8:3 miles I felt my fuel kick in, and my adrenaline started coursing and I knew I was ready to take off the rest of the way down the trail to the finish. So after the other gals stopped for drinks and the restroom, I whipped out my headphones and turned up my music and just tempo ran the rest of the way. My splits for miles 8 to mile 13 avg. a 6:33. I had plenty of energy as I ended up eating all the carbs I could find all day yesterday. I felt so GOOD today. But oh dear, it's back to the clean eating today. It was fun while it lasted ( I'll miss you donuts!) We had so much fun and I didn't want to win the coveted rooster, because now I have to display it, arrgh! hehe I got to talk with runningontwinkies, Kelli, KellieS, RAD,bye-wing, LUZ, Josee, Merri,Leandra, Aubrey, McKenzie, MichelleL, and of course darling Marion, Melody, Wendy and a few others. There was a man there that had a pacer tech tee on, and I've forgotten his name, but recognized him from the Halloween half. I think there were at least 40 people that came out.
Michelle is moving and I'm sad. She has been an inspiration to me these last two years. Really gonna miss her. She held back so she didn't have to take the rooster to Hong Kong.
1 mile cool down with McKenzie and Aubrey
