I woke up this morning kind of dreading my run. I wanted to go 10, but was so not motivated. I was feeling a little down cause my friends were all doing red rock relay and i wasn't. I actually did have 3 teams ask me if i could fill in last minute. I didn't think my bod could handle all of that.
So I glanced at my phone before going and noticed my friend had texted me at 4 am, asking if i could fill in on a leg later on. I gave her a call and they were just coming into la verkin, and asked if i wanted to do the next one. Yes!!! of course. it was perfect timing and i was only 3 min away.
So i pretty much got there and started running. I do need to mention that the first 2 miles were up the la verkin twist - ouch. I was so awesome though. I felt bad passing everyone while being pregnant, but they were on their 3rd legs, and i was pretty fresh. I did get 7 kills:) I was surprised at the pace i could still run. I averaged 8 min/ mile which included the uphill portion. The leg was 6.2 and i just wanted to keep running! I went from dreading my run, to being able to have a support and cheer team, and motivation to pass people. It was so perfect. I really needed it.
They drove me back down and i ran another 4 miles , to make 10 miles. |
