3 miles with Hilary!  I have a new workout buddy.  We ran 1 mile warm up.  30 second sprint, 30 second jog 10x.  Half mile cool down.

I repeated the series on the TM with 10 being my sprint and 6 being recovery.  The run was MUCH more difficult outside.

The only reason I ran this race was because David wanted to.  I seriously wanted to not pay and just run for fun.  We got the start and it was a little over 30 degrees, it was pretty chilly out.  I wore running tights and David wore shorts (crazy).  We ran a mile around the high school to warm up. The course went around the high school, so it was a good change from the typical place they have their other races.  

I saw a few of my students at the start line and I thought it was really cool that elementary age school children were RUNNING a 5k!  So cool.  My plan was to start off slow and just go off of how my body felt.  As I started, I noticed there was no one to really compete against and only men were passing me.  What the heck, I just went and felt pretty darn good.  Big hill at mile 1 and another one at 2.5 miles.  The finish line seemed so far away on the home stretch.  

Finished and felt like poop.  David got second to a speedy man.  David seems to always get second for some reason, but he ran the race in 17:40.  Faster than I could ever run.  We waited around for the awards and of course they did overall last.  I started to walk up before the announced my name, I felt like a weirdo.  They also pronounced out last name as Sounduro, in a very heavy Hispanic accent.  We basically live in Mexico, so, why not?  One of my students ran up and gave me a big hug, it was the cutest things!

We went and got breakfast tacos at Rudy's after, yummy yummy.
