| Running With the Bulls is a BIG DEAL in Del Rio. Last year David and I both won first place overall and we were a proud Del Rio couple. Last year the course was not marked properly and it was short. This year the race was marked well. I knew I had to be in the low 20s to win or break 20 min and win for the ladies. The gun went and we were off!! I was trying to keep up with a 13 year old that is getting faster at every race. I had to work really hard to keep her. 1 mile in she took off. I kept calm and maintained my pace. At the 2nd mile I was catching up to her. The last .70 is up a hill and I ALMOST had her. The last stretch was coming down a hill and into the finish. She was literally steps in front of me and she looked like she was falling apart. Just at the end, a girl from behind came in and sprinted to the finish. She was 7 seconds in front, then the 13 year old was 3 seconds in front of me. I was very happy with my 5k performance since I rarely race 5ks. I did a 10k about a month ago and beat the winner of the Running With The Bulls by MINUTES. I was surprised by the outcome of this race. David was 3rd overall for the men. Just wasn't the day for the Sondrups to take home the 1st place hardware. |

10 miles with the one and only RAD!!! It was so fantastic to run/chat with her. I am in Utah visting family because my Grandpa Rampton died and I am here for the funeral. SO SO SO nice to run and talk to RAD.
8:15 pace, not too bad for some chatting ladies. We ran up to the PR trail and back down to my sister's house in Draper. |

| 6 miles with RAD again in Herriman this time. We ran some good hills at a relaxing pace. She had to be back at her house to get the kids off to school. She has a CUTE bunch of kiddos. Off the kids went to school and RAD and I found ourselves at Kneaders. Yum. I love good running friends and food. :) | |

11 on the TM at the LC.
Warmed up a good 2 miles. Quarter mile increments of upping the speed until 8.5. 400s of 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10 and the repeated.
Nice to be in an over crowded gym again. |

| I met Rachel at the new Herriman gym this morning. That place is really nice. I kept smacking my hand on the TM and it is bruised now. I guess I should put my arms down when I run. Nice to chat with Million Miles Rachel. | |

| 8 miles on the TM while Lily mostly cried at me. The stroller I used today was too big to get up to the track and they don't have an elevator in the gym. LAME. 1 mile warm up. 7.5 @ 1% incline, 8 @ 2%, 8.5 @ 0 %. Repeated and 1 mile to cool down. | |

LAFB Turkey Trot (3.1 Miles) 00:20:40, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 2.00 | 3.10 | 5.10 |

TURKEY TROT DAY!!! After the last race, I was extremely nervous that someone fast would show up to the 5K and earn my turkey. I had also promised I would make a turkey for the Thanksgiving festivities at this upcoming T-day, so the pressure was on. Warmed up with David and he gave me some great 5K strategies. 1. Stay with or behind the person that is in your running area that you want to beat. 2. Listen to their breathing. If they are working hard and you are chill, you will surely be able to pass them up. 3. Save some room for a kick at the end of the race. Off we went down the streets of Laughlin and the first mile a cross country chick totally passed me up. I started to stress a little but I knew if she won, I could still get my turkey (for my age group). I let her go and relaxed into a nice pace behind some men. The winds really blow on the base, so I used the group of men as my shield. I could still see my husband up ahead in second place, taking it easy at this point, he looked strong. Mile 2 is a hill and I knew I could regain the lead for the ladies. (Del Rio runners don't run too many hills). I passed the group of men, the girl up ahead, and now I was in third, after my husband. Coming down the hill I ripped into a good stride. Last mile is uphill and I kept the lead. Ran into the finish at 20:40, a definite course PR. I was SUPER proud of my performance. David won as well!! On the last quarter mile, he caught the fast cross country boy and flew in to the finish. The Sondrups brought not only 1 turkey home, but 2!!! Yahoo! We had a lot of fun this morning. :)

| 1 mile up to the gym. The gym was sweltering HOT!!! Like 100 degrees, no joke. I only make it 3 miles until I had to leave. 1 mile back home in 80 degrees. And why did I not just run the entire 5 miles outside in the first place? | |

| 8 miles at a 7:46 AP. Nice and foggy Monday morning. Ran around the perimeter of the base and up and down a few streets. Following my run I did a few kick-butt Zumba routines. I don't think anyone will enjoy my Zumba class because it might leave them dead on the floor. | |
