Grass loop with Amanda for a warmup, then ran a fun easy River Run - first 2 with Rob and the rest by myself. Forgot to replace my watch's batteries yesterday, so I borrowed Amanda's watch for the run. I had such a fun time! Amanda's garmin was set for a "fast pace" alert, so it suddenly beeped at me and said "SLOW DOWN!" randomly. It was so unexpected, and made me laugh (a lot) so I left it on for a mile or so. The dirt part of the run was SO squishy, I could barely run through it and my shoes got dirtier. :) And I talked to myself some. And I saw some other girls doing the bank 5-miler on the way up the industrial hill about .25 ahead of me, so I hurried up and caught them! That mile was 7:12 - woo hoo! Avg. pace 7:34/mi. SO GOOD! (DS2 237.3)

Today I became LEGAL. I can now vote, buy dry ice and sign my own race sign-up forms!

Sorry about the set pace on my watch. I love when it tells me to slow down. It went off on me when I was running the last half marathon. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

that signing race forms is a sweet deal. I once got kicked out from a 10 mile race because I was 17 and a half and they wouldn't accept the signature of the adult I was with. We drove about 4 or 5 hours for that race too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Ruthie is 18...that's a bit scary! I remember the days of Ruthie as a freshman...okay, those were scarier! :) Hope you did something fun!

Adam, sorry to hear you got kicked from a race for being too young. If it were me, I wouldnt have put a different birthdate ;) it's okay to fib when youre a runenr
