I absolutely love this race and think it is so cool that they put it on each year.  It has become a tradition to run it every year with my sister and this year Amber was making the big jump from the 5K to the 10K.  I was really excited for her and yesterdays race was all about her.

After my failed run Sat I had quite low expectations for my own performance.  I just wanted to have fun and run at a pace comfortable enough as to not aggravate my feet.  The 10K course is really hard in my opinion and I am very happy with how I ran.  The start was a little chaotic as Carina and I were kind of stuck in the middle of the pack and I may have started my watch late because I had no real idea the race was starting.  But my watch measured 6.11 mi at 38:58 (6:22 pace), official time may have me over 39 I am not really sure.  Splits were:  6:13, 6:30, 7:02, 6:28, 6:11, 5:55, 5:46. <----pretty good example of terrible pacing but that hill+headwind at mile 3 really was hard!

Highlights of the race/day:

  • Finally meeting Carina in person!  So fun to warm up/cool down and chat with her a bit.  What an incredible women and runner she is.
  • My angel JulieC showing up on the bike at mile 2.5 and riding with me for a lot of the race.  I was not talking back as much as usual but I was loving her stories. :)
  • Meeting Brandon's little boy who totally rocked the 5k and then coached his little brother through the 1 miler.  What a little stud!
  • Getting beat by a 15 year old!  That kid was legit.....every time I surged close to him he would surge harder.  Sheesh I was totally impressed.
  • Seeing my Dad at mi 6 marker and yelling at me to pick it up and beat the kid!  I was trying....
  • My sister absolutely rocking the race.  She ran 55:28 and surged so hard at the end Carina, Spence, and I could barely keep up.  It was really really exciting and the greatest part about it is she loved it and now wants to do a half marathon.

It was really just a great day and seeing so many of my friends and having my family there at the race.....it was just perfect.  I know I am completely cheesy but I just really love running.  This race was good to pull me out of my funk and put things into perspective.

7.2 with Jen in Salem

25 min weights

10 min ellipticalling and chatting with Lily.

My plan is to try and over-taper for UV marathon/half marathon....  I know that being off of my feet is probably the best thing for my feet.  It is just a matter of talking my OCD personality into grasping that concept...

PM:  1.6 mi + at home PT, stretching, rolling, ect.

7.5 mi on the SF river trail with Jen, Lily, & Cam.  Fun times.

Can anyone recommend a good lighter weight wide running shoe?  And not altra.....I can't do the zero drop thing.

9 miles in the orchards with a big crew this morning - Jen, Jos, Mac, Sierra and Rebecca.  3 mile tempo 6:41, 6:18, 6:09.  Sierra is running xc/track for SUU next year and I am excited to train with her over the Summer.  Fun morning!

Cortisone shots in between the 2nd & 3rd metetarsals of both feet this afternoon.  Eeeek!

5 easy recovery miles with the south county crew - Jen, Mac, Aubs, & Sierra.  Another fun morning. :)

The cortisone shots yesterday were not nearly as bad as I thought they would be.  Hopefully they help and if not well at least I tried...

Paced the Thelma & Louise half marathon in Moab. Loved the course, loved the race, loved spending the weekend with a group of fun girls. This was an all female race and incredibly well organized. I knew pacing 1:40 I wouldn't have much of a crowd but there were a few more than I expected. And one girl a 17 yr old running her first ever half started with us and ended up finishing 3rd in 1:36. Very impressive. Finish time was 1:39:40.

Top of my feet killed me the entire time and I ripped off my brand new extra wide kinvaras as soon as I crossed the finish line. This foot crap is just getting so old and I'm so sick of wasting money on experimenting with shoes. On a positive note the bottom of my feet did not bother me. Hallelujah!
