I was on my own today... Sue had other obligations. I went to the parkway and ran to the top then crossed the street and ran the birdsong trail, I think it's was about 2 miles on the trail. There was a big group of women running on the trail. They are Ogden's elite women runners. The one in front was Anna Judd. She won the Ogden marathon this year. So for a brief second I felt pretty good running with the fast ladies. Then I ran back down the parkway. It was crazy windy today so going down felt pretty good. As I was heading back up the parkway I realized I had miss calculated my turnaround point and I was going to be a mile short. By now the head wind was really taking it's toll on me along with a lack of fuel, so I was really starting to struggle. When the fast ladies passed me again looking strong and fast that was it... I was defeated. I struggled back to my car and didn't even try to get one more mile all I wanted was some food. When I got home my lovely hubby offered to make me eggs hashbrowns and toast!! He is wonderful!! So I'm off to lock myself in my doll room. I have started a sculpture for my oldest sisters birthday. It's not til Feb. 5th, but between holidays and time constraints I know that I need to start working on it now. Have a great weekend bloggers :) 9 miles - 1:24:39 average pace - 9:24
