Ran with the McMillan ladies team: Jamie, Lindsey, Paige, Alvina, and me. I don't normally put splits, but I will here just because it is more interesting. Greg biked with bottle holders for the guys and a guy (I think Ryan?) met us every 3 miles with his car to give us our bottles. First mile is flatish and getting to forest service road 222. Miles 2 and 3 were uphill, the rest were rolling. We did 6 out and back, then Lindsey and Jamie peeled off (were done), then Alvina ran with us for another .5 mile, then wanted to back off pace, so then it was just Paige and I. It was neat to talk with her one on one (until we picked it up a bit and I focused on breathing). 8:16, 7:55, 8:04, 7:20, 7:08, 7:18 (turnaround), 7:29, 7:28, 7:26, 7:07, 7:09, 7:33 (Jamie and Lindsey are done), 7:18 (Alvina peels off), 7:11, 6:55, 6:52, .21 in 6:44 Almost didn't make it to this run, I realized with 25 minutes to workout that my shoes were across town at the public pool, I jetted over and back and was the last to arrive. So glad I got to join and participate. Did stretching then had a chat with coach. So glad to have been able to meet him and to run with the team. This was such a cool week. So grateful to Bonnie and Dean for their generosity in hosting us and for not kicking us out when it became apparent my kids were three rascals. I didn't think they'd be so rambunctious, but they were in top form on the trip. Drove home after packing, got home just before midnight. Time for a nap. |
