Jeff and I dropped Lizzie off at the soccer field and got to Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane, Utah @9am Sat. He was trying to catch the last shuttle for the 5 mile run which was supposed to leave @ 9:15. It was raining and had been pouring down since 4 am that morning. Gray clouds all around and no let up in sight. When we arrived they told us they weren't doing the shuttle and the 5 and 10 mile race would start together @ 10am. We sat in our car for an hour waiting...I decided @ the last minute to not wear my big, awkward raincoat, Jeff kept his on. 

This was not a big race, I really have no idea how many people there were. 100? (Hey I guessed right) Jeff and I ran together for a bit but then I headed off. (He's only worked his way up to 3 miles so was hoping to finish this 5 mile race). I had on two shirts and my tights, shorts, a hat, buff band to cover ears and gloves. When we started raining I didn't even notice the rain anymore. It was just me and my music and the person ahead of me I needed to pass pretty much this whole race. I took it easy though to begin with.

We ran around a big body of water. We started on gravel, then to road and then back to gravel for a while. Got a few rocks in my shoes but left them there. Figured I'd just get more. The 5 milers turned around @ 2.5 and we ran out and around a point and turned around @ 5. When the first runner looped around I high fived him and said good job. A girl was close behind him and I high-fived her and said good job!!! I thought I recognized the 5th or 6th woman that looped me coming back and I realized who she was when I saw her again @ the end of the race.

There were water stations at mile 2.5 and 5 and ? Anyway, at 5 I drank for a minute and passed up a few girls I thought for sure would catch me again but didn't. On the way back I stayed right behind a tall guy for a while, just tried to keep pushing myself. My goal was to stay under 9 for AP every mile. I passed a few people on the way to the finish and then just gave it my all the last few miles. There was a head wind and rain the entire time of course so I feel like I did great. It was tough but I just pushed as hard as I could at the end. Jeff was there cheering my in!

They gave us chocolate milk, mini muffins and fruit cups. They also gave us a card with our official time and place. When I was getting my card I saw this girl again I thought I recognized and realized I've read her blog on marathon mommies. I read about her race @ Ogden marathon last year where she qualified for Boston. She had a lot of pictures and I've read this blog entry several times because she tells in detail about what she did that helped her qualify. She inspired me to try and qualify. I told her so. Anyway... good race!
