I ran almost 4 outside before realizing I was again to chicken to run alone in the dark.  I went about 1/2 mile down river bottom road and something said turn around so I did :)  I ran home and went to the gym and did 2 miles with Lily on the TM.

 

6 pm miles w/ Lynsey.  It was hot and we were only going for 5, but the route ended up being 6.  That's ok we had some teenage boys drive by and tell us we were hot.  So glad we're almost twice thier age :)

Ran to the gym this morning w/ Lily then I jumped into tae bo class for an hour while she did the elliptical and then we ran home.  I was dragging so bad on the way home. I was definitely tired!!!

5 miles w/ Lynsey today.  Feeling a little sore from tae bo yesterday, but otherwise we had a good run at a good pace.  Not exactly sure on the pace right now, but I'll plug my watch in later :P

No run today.  Maybe some type of cross training.  I am doing a triathlon this weekend...ok ok I'm not doing the whole thing I'm on a team and I'm doing the run section. :) Anywho I decided to take today off and run 7-8 w/ Lily & Lyns tomorrow and then tri time Saturday.

1 mile warm up - 9.02

Met lyns & lily for 7 - don't think Lyns was too excited about waking up this morning.  she finally came around though :)  We ran 2 miles to the SF jr high, then ran the SF memorial day 5k route and ran 2 home.   (splits:  8.13, 8.32 (somewhat uphill), 7.50 (somewhat downhill), 8.17, 7.58, 7.51, 8.04

added 1 cool down mile 8.01

Should somehow find a way to squeeze in one more mile to be in the double dig's today. 

No more tri for me tomorrow.  Our super speedy swimmer had to back out, so I am thinking about going to Provo canyon and running up a ways then running down w/ the 1/2 marathon racers...

So my neighbor Chad somehow talked me into running the Mapleton Half last night around 6pm. (I guess I got in the double digits today after all)  I called the race director and she said I could register at Jolley's campground, so I decided I'd give it a try.  My husband seemed to be really pushing for me to run this race for some reason.  I think maybe he wanted me around in the morning?  Still not sure why, but I'm glad I did b/c it was a blast!

The name of the game for the Moonlight Half was to come in 1st right after midnight. Not a fan of that really. I would prefer everyone starting at the same time, but what can you do? :)  I started at 10 pm and came in at 11:45.

Here are my splits:

Mile 1 - 7.40

2 - 7.38

3 - 7.30

4 - 7.56

5 - 7.29

6 - 7.37

7 - 7.45

8 - 8.08 - Started to lose some steam :) and this is where we left the canyon and started running around town.

9 - 8.16

10 - 8.25

11 - 8.27 - really lost some steam I guess

12 - 8.06 - felt pretty good the last 2 miles.

13 - 7.58

I had to take one potty break and I got lost one time.  Luckily it was a dead end so I knew I was going the wrong way.  The post race food was the best!  And it really was a lot of fun seeing all these crazy people w/ flashing glowsticks running w/ the full moon.  Luckily I didn't see any werewolves.  Although if I were to see a werewolf I would hope it would be Taylor Lautner.
