I got a facebook message from my friend this morning asking me if I wanted to join her on her 20 mile run.  I was so excited, I ran and got dressed and met her at the park. 

We ran an out and back on the Greenway that totaled around 14 miles. I was so so so so so happy to run with a long distance runner that ran my same speed and was a girl!!  We talked and ran and I LOVED it!!  So refreshing to run with someone, I was so happy.  The sunshine and the weather were just as perfect.

Base 5k today.  I really wanted to run 10 miles but we were leaving to go to Del Rio early so I didn't have time.  I was also with David and we usually don't run a long way when we run 5ks.

Warmed up 1.6 miles.  Started at the front of the pack.  Goal was to save my legs for tomorrow's race.  

Ran the out and back course in 20:44.  Nothing eventful.   

Cooled down for a few miles and went home.  It is always fun running with David. David won in 18:34.

I signed up for this 5k because it sounded like fun and the prizes were the best in town.  I showed up early because I wanted to run 6 or so miles before the start.  I started running on the course and got a little confused because I went around the course once and it was 1.5 miles long.  Then I realized it was a two loop course.  The course was beautiful but it climbed up and down some pretty big hills.  It was a fun course and I made some few strategies as I did my warm up.  Take it easy on the up hills and fast as I could fly down the down hills.

The race didn't have very many people registered and I could tell there weren't any "fast" ladies as I looked around at the start.  We were off and a girl was trying to keep with me, but I could tell she would fall off on the first hill.  Sure enough, the first hill she was left behind.  I tried to push my pace to keep as close to 20 minutes.  First 1.5 miles I ran in a few seconds less than 10 min.  Ran the second lap and just wanted the race to be over.  Finished and the clock read 20:14.  

I took another lap around the course to cool down.  While I was running I watched a couple in front of me in their 20s cheat the course.  I kind of laughed that they were really cheating on a 5k course.  I caught up to them and jokingly said "Were you cheating?"  The girl replied, "no" and the guy said, "um yesss!"  It just made me laugh.  Toward the the finish line I caught up to a teenage girl and when she saw me, she started sprinting.  It made me laugh.  I guess I helped her finish faster, right?

For the prizes I got a huge purple towel, a water bottle and $50 gift certificate to the overpriced spa that sponsored the race.  I get some of the strangest things for prizes at races.  Oh well, better than nothing and I had a lot of fun.
