After another fun filled week driving and not being able to log or blog on here lol finally get a chance to try and catch up. Saturday morning out the door at 5:30 costume in a bag on the way to the Halloween half get to the mall at 6 find Andrea and finally Anna we get on the bus and up the canyon . Milling around and getting dressed up (something between a smurf and an oompa loompa ha ha) the race is almost ready to start not planning on an all out race since I had promised myself to #1 run it in my CROCS (thanks Mike) and #2 making a pact with Andrea to help her set a new P.R. This course is smoking fast next year think i will try to set a record for myself the first 4.5 or so are all fairly steep downhill and quick flattening out once we hit the highway for a few miles and onto the provo river trail to finish with another 3 or so of gradual down grade . Running and pacing with Andrea keeping 9:30 to 10:00 pace somewhere (or so it felt ) was nice relaxing pace she did great had to walk a couple times with side stitch I pushed her a little past her comfort zone but in the end finished a minute ahead of her previous best very rewarding for me to be there and help her to accomplish her goal . After the race and milling around a bit we got in line for the bus it was so long we decided to do a warm down and slow run back to the mall another 3 miles surely we got back before the bus would have gotten us there ha ha
