Run For Health 5k @ the University of Utah was my 5k race for the year.  Funny thing, it wasn't even a 5k.  I was the third place lady.  

7 miles were ran prior to the race on a TM.  2 cool down miles were ran with my baby.

I was planning to run 10 miles, at mile three my belly was ready to burst!  I had to use the restroom in the trees.  Talked myself back into running.... Stopped at mile 5 to use the restroom again.  Talked myself back into the run once again... Made 8.5 miles out the fiasco!

I had to convince myself to run... I had so many excuses not to.  Did run and what happened?  Felt better after the run like always.  

Danced the night away with my friends.

Race: Salt Lake City Half 01:38:30
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance

I used the Salt Lake City Half Marathon as a training run.  I did bandit the race and I did not feel bad about it.  This course goes through places I train everyday, so it was nice to know the terrain.  My goal for the race was to have a better time than last year.  Previous time was: 1:38 something. 

I started off and my legs felt knotty, heavy, and sore.  I felt like my body was extremely tired.  Ran, ran, and ran some more.  My favorite part of the course was downtown Sugar House.  My least favorite part was going up State Street.  Pure DEATH march.  I had a lot of fun pacing off other runners during the race.

  I finished within seconds of my last year's time.  This frustrated me a bit do to the fact I have been running much more than I was last year.  I had come off a recent injury last year, and this year I had no excuses.  It's time to make a plan to get out of my 3:20 marathon times and 1:30 half marathon times.  I have been on a plateau for about two years now.
