weights-

10 miles running river trail loop. My avg pace was a 7:25 today. So glad. I've been playing mental games lately. I think I've slowed down a lot in the past 6 months, but I look back at my garmin history and I ran most morning runs at that same avg pace last year. I don't know how my marathon will pan out this year. But I'll try to do my best. I think I train better when I run alone. My last mile, a couple of ladies on road bikes passed by, so I sped up to try and keep up with them. My garmin suddenly spun and looked something like this: ...7:26...7:22......7:18......7:15.... 7:10  Ooooo Lily run faster they are getting away! ...7:08......6:55.....Argh! I'm over it!....7:15.....7:26..... holding steady. :)  I make myself laugh sometimes.

There is a psycho looking fella on the trail just after 6:30 these days. He looks like he wants to murder someone. Serious. Freaky.

Red hot pink chics half on Saturday. If you want to come and run it, email me and I will give you Marion's email. It's so fun and we EAT after wards!

Which one? Is he a jogger? There was a crazy lot of people out this morning.

The ongoing debate, who is crazier? Runners or Axe Murderers.

I wish I could get down there this Saturday. I just don't think I have the time. Sad. Good run today, you are definitely as strong and fast as ever!

and then there is this 58+ year old I come out of the trail and he is on the road so we merge but he was already ahead 5 feet and I am supposed to go easy and I currently was and then there is this instinct that surely I can't let this gentleman be ahead of me (I am running an 8:30 at this point) and I speed up and he speeds up and then I am like go easy Julie this is a recovery run and then I speed up and he speeds up. He is wearing a race singlet so I think he was pretty serious about staying ahead although I was only speeding up to a 8 pace I let him have his glory as we turned in different directions but I thought it was pretty funny. And then I run thru the crazy Lone Peak Pond area and wonder what crazy guy could be lurking in the bushes, luckily LOTS of runners out but still THEY (weirdos roaming the pathway with the look to kill) KILL THE running buzz for a moment as Carina mentioned. Did you like my long add on to your blog, LILY ? I type as fast as my thoughts. : D.

Can't wait to see you at RHPC!!!

Maybe the crazy guy is why you felt like you had to keep up with the bikers...safety in numbers :)

runners and axe murderers are equally crazy -- the difference is how the craziness is channeled.

lily, be careful out there!

The look...of murder, is in...your eyes,

The look...your heart...can't disguise...
