I ran the first three miles with my neighbor.  I went inside, grabbed the ipod, ate breakfast then started running again.  It was my first time with the ipod and I felt like I could have run forever.  I did a couple laps around the neighborhood and was back by 8:00am.  Now I just need to figure out how to change the songs.

I started my road trip across the country today.  I know I didn't run, but it still felt like a workout alone in the car with two children.  I drove 10 hours and made it to Des Moines.

I was surprised that I didn't feel the altitude.  It felt great to finally get a few miles in again!

My bib number was switched and some of the results on the website are incorrect.  (I have pictures to prove it).  Anyway, the website has me listed as running a 2:10! I crossed the line at the same time as my sister's friend who got 1:50:32.  So I'm going by that time.  Made my goal + PR!  :)  We did a lot of walking up the hills, but tried to make up for it on the flat and down part.  I felt strong and could have kept going.

This was a fun coarse.  It started up Emigration Canyon.  Beautiful scenery, loved that the sun was at our backs the entire race.  Running past Dog Park, Hogel Zoo, This Is The Place Heritage Park, and The Moran Eye Center brought back lots of memories.  We ran past the SLC cemetery where my grandparents are buried.  Then we ran by the home that my grandpa built in the 1930s and lived in until 2001.  Thinking about fun memories at these landmarks kept me going.  I also enjoyed doing a race with Mark, Paul, Cheryl, and Suz!

One kind of funny/gross thing that happened.  I shared a salt tablet with my sister's friend, Kelly.  I accidentally threw my other salt tab in the garbage with my water cup.  It fell in a cup in some stranger's backwash.  I stuck my hand in the trash and ate the salt tab anyway!!
