Good things happen in St. George!  I don't know why but running comes to life for me when I am surrounded by the beautiful landscape of St. George.  Last year I was injured and unable to run this race.  So just being able to run this year made me extremely grateful.  I was not expecting much out of myself going into this race.  I was pleasantly surprised with my overall race experience on this honest course.  

I ran my mile warm-up to pre examine all of my running equipment.  My new shoes were rubbing my foot raw and it started to bleed.  I ran back to my car and bandaged my foot.  I had no problem with that during the race and I was impressed with the shoes.  (Nike Elite)

The first few miles I really paced myself according to the way my body felt.  I passed hundreds of runners in the first few miles.  Slowly I found the 40 year oldish men that were moving at the same pace I was. I passed a few more ladies by mile 8 and I was happy that after that no other ladies ever passed me up again. 

I didn't mind the course and the way it looped twice.  I was rather content with the fact that the second time around the loop I knew what to expect.  I felt my finish was strong and over all I was extremely pleased with the way I ran and held my pace. 

I ran one more mile for 3 reasons.  1.  A dear friend was racing 2 miles and I wanted two focus two of my miles to him. 2.  One of my students was turning 15 so I told her I would run 15 miles for her on her Birthday.  3.  To thank God that I have an able body that can run and do amazing things.  :)

The end of Painter's was a party.  I got to hang out with RAD, Julie C, Smooth, and Melanie B a little.  My roommate was also there cheering me on which was really sweet.  So happy that I had a winter race to look forward to the last few months.  Now I will continue my training geared toward the National Marathon where I would like to PR.

8.2 around Foothill and Sugarhouse.  I tripped when I was on Foothill and about killed myself and pulled a glute muscle in the process.  2 bathroom stops.  Not an ideal run in my book.

7 miles on the TM with some speed.  Glute felt a little better, I will be taking it easy the next few days.

7 recovery miles in Sugar House.  Oh my goodness my last hill climb kicked my b-hind.  I was happy with my 7:53 pace.  I thought for sure I was going much slower.

Herriman long run with Rachel.  Temp was rather cold, humid and visibility was scarce.  Extremely foggy as we ran throughout the town down toward Daybreak.  

Who needs therapy when you have running and an AWESOME running companion?  Sure felt nice to vent to someone while I conquered more than 15 miles.  Thanks for not making stop at mile 13 RAD.  I am proud of those 15!  

Today DAVID SONDRUP ran a 4:44 mile at his track meet!  Check out his blog!
