The fun run was in Ivins. Starting line was at the park. Hubby and I ran from our house to the park as a 2 mile warm-up. Although the race didn't start for another 20 minutes after we got there.
Not to many people at the race. Probably about 40. You had to run up hill for the first quarter mile. That was a little hard. My first mile seemed slow. The course took you through the Kayenta subdivision. Some of the race was on a dirt road. It was pretty packed down so it wasn't too bad. At the start everyone was passing me and I thought OH Great, I am going to be the last person across. Then I got into my pace and started passing people. I was a little nervous about getting lost so I tried to be more observant and pay attention to the signs. It was a pretty hilly course but the last mile and a half was all down hill which was nice. I was able to make up some time. I saw this guy in black ahead of me and I tried to catch him but didn't. I didn't push as hard as I could of on the downhill because my legs were still recovering and were feeling a little tight. It was a fun run and a good way to get a speed workout in. I was totally shocked when my hubby told me I was the first woman across. I was excited!! First time I've ever won a race. The trophy was a fun bobble head woman runner. It was awesome. My hubby took first place in men!! I am surprised I did so well considering I could barely walk on monday. After the awards ceremony we ran home. I may do a couple more miles tonight on the treadmill or just ride the bike. mile 1 8:15 mile 2 8:02 mile 3 8:19 mile 4 7:48 mile 5 6:55 .40 6:29 Avg Pace: 7:45
