I hadn't quite decided whether I was going to run this race or not. Last night I was a chaperone at Jr. Prom and didn't get to bed until after midnight. Our group went to The Roof for dinner- it was incredible and the deserts... mmm. I totally over ate. At 8:45 I decided to go for it- I threw on my running clothes, jumped in my truck and sped over to the start. Just as I was getting out of my truck the race began. I hustled over to the start and headed off- the last runner out of the gate. I felt pretty good most of the race, although about mile 9 my lack of breakfast and my huge dinner caught up with me. I was totally lacking fuel and was wishing I had a gel or something. My splits were as follows: 7:57, 7:50, 7:47, 8:01, 8:09, 7:56, 8:01, 8:05, 8:46 ( I think this is were I walked through a water station and guzzled a whole cup of gatorade and 1 of water), 8:17, 8:52 (?), 8:27, and 7:50. AP: 8:08. Not bad considering. It was great to see so many familiar faces. Thanks to all you awesome runners who chose to help out rather than run. And thank you Lisa for promoting such a great event so soon after such a tragic loss- my heart is with you.
