Today Laughlin had a fun little race to celebrate Diversity Day here at the base. I REALLY was not planning to race today, but I couldn't calm the horses down!

I warmed up and my hip was killing. When we were off, the pain went away briefly in my mind. I got really excited and I was easily the leading girl, so I had to hold my pace, right? AP for the race was 7:20. I got a hard time from some of the leading men because I couldn't keep up with them. I told them they were just getting faster and they laughed.

1 mile cool down.

1 mile run to the gym. Did my weight session and felt really fatigued. I want to get faster and I don't feel like I am.

um, didn't you do speed work yesterday? Don't be too hard on yourself. You're also adjusting to the new environment (heat and humidity). I'm glad you let those horses carry you - and I hope you threw a little trash talk at those boys too! :)

Congrats on an awesome win - not that I didn't expect it! Did you win anything fun?

Good job, do not worry about speed, it will come, even in these temperatures. Then when you get cool weather you will be flying. So for Diversity Day did they give you jelly beans where the colors don't match the flavor? That's what they did at my work for our sensitivity training.

RAD, Thanks for the comments. Sometimes I do get a little down on myself about not going fast enough. It was fun anyway.

Flat, I do worry about my speed some days. Texas humidity is something I have never dealt with coming from Utah. I want some crazy jelly beans! I never knew they made such things.

When the horses are ready....LET them FLY!!!! Way to give those silly boys a run for their money! It would do them good to be chicked! Yahoooooo....
