I was SO excited when I got Rachelle's email that she wanted to run in the morning in Lehi. I knew my body wouldn't like getting up early, but I figured I could come home and sleep. I'd be fine. I mean, how could I turn down that offer?!? :) So, I met Julie and Rachelle at Willow Park in Lehi. Oh, I know this stretch of trail all too well. I was the only one with a head-lamp, so they had to run slow with me...haha, suckers! :) We ran a little further than expected, but it was good fun and I felt great! Good company and letting out all my whiny stories from St George's Saturday night was very therapeutic. I think I talked the whole way back! I think I was the only one breathing hard, but I had the adrenaline to keep me going. It was VERY worth the drive down there for some fun company, even if I did had to ditch my Newtons. They were only running 3 to taper for SOJO marathon, so I don't think they can complain too much :) AP: 8:12 splits: 8:44, 8:14, 8:03, 8:31 (found the mud on the trail and slowed down a bit to not kill ourselves!), 8:13, 7:52, 7:52, 8:09 (last .5 mile)
