Progressive run on the TM.  My legs felt really good.  Still very tight from the run I had on Saturday.  Felt good to put some speed in my run the last two miles.

4 miles down to Sug House Park.  2x around the park on the grass trail.  Ran down to the stop light on 21st and ran back to my place.  

I spotted a running group at Highland High.  I might have to meet up them and go running some Weds.  Looks like they meet at 6 pm.

I guess Allie saw me running tonight.  I would have sped up if I knew she was watching me!

I had to give a presentation to my Institute class tonight about physical fitness.  I tried to pump them up about physical activity!  Let's hope it works! ;)

Oh how I have missed spinning class!  We spun out to a spooky Halloween mix.  Very fun.

*I took melatonin before I went to bed and I slept like a baby.  My body felt so good when I woke up.

This is one of my favorite races.  I don't really know why, but I love having a reason to dress up for a race.  I also had a great time spending the morning with RAD!  She is just rad. :) 

I got to the mall at about 6:45 and spotted RAD and her new little friend standing in line for a bus.  I went 'Emo' style so I had various fake tats and piercing of my face.  RAD was standing by a twelve year old girl and her mother.  Gabby was the name of this young lady and this was her third half.  Her mother was leaving her with RAD and I to look out for her.  When she looked at me she became a little concerned about her daughter's safety.  It's interesting how people judge you on the way you look.

Got to the start line and joined everyone in the heated tent.  Talked to various runners and watched the costume contest.  My personal favorite was Forest Gump because he gave me one of his chocolates. 

Race started and off we went down the screaming hills.  I knew I was in trouble when I saw 27 minutes on my watch at the 4 mile mark.  After the canyon I assumed I would slow a bit and I did.  By mile 9, I was walking every mile.  My heart rate was a little crazy so I was trying to bring it back down.  My goal for the race was 1:30 and I knew I would be missing it.  I was actually ok with this and tried to enjoy my run. 

Fun race!  The most enjoyable part was meeting Lili, Allie, and some men from the blog.  (Sorry I forgot your names).  After the race RAD made me take 2.5 recovery miles back to the car. 

*Last year I was running 60 miles a week and I ran this race 1 minute faster.  Considering how much I have cut out of training (50%), I am feeling great.
