Time: 1:59:52 Avg: 9:59 Ha! Had to sprint that last mile to get in under 2. Last mile=8:29:) We left at 5:30am. I was shaking for like 5 minutes after my alarm went off. Wasn't prepared to be awakened I guess. I wore capris and short sleeves. It wasn't as cold as I thought it would be. It was hard to get up and out but I always feel better when I start running out in the beautiful surroundings. Loved the moon and the stars and then the gradual sunrise. Never get tired of that. Lysa and I ran up our usual and had good conversation. We split off around mile 6 (?) up that huge hill. I ran all the way down to Sego Lily and turned around and looked for Lysa but didn't see her anywhere. We had talked about just going back the way we came so I decided to do that. Didn't want to do the usual without Lys cause that would take me to the neighborhood where I was almost attacked by that stupid dog. So, I went back the way we came. Had some new music so that was a nice change. I was trying to keep my pace under 10 cause I wanted to get home under 2 hours. Running back up the hill (past the water tank) was a challenge but I still kept it under 10 (9:55) and it was all downhill after that. Yahoo! Last 3 miles were 9:14, 8:58, 8:29! Hurried to get the kids ready for school and my 3rd grader left her lunch sitting on the counter. Nice. I put on my flip flops and had to run all the way to the back of the school (we live across the street from the school) where the 3rd graders line up. What? That's a long way after you just ran 12 miles and sprinted at the end. Nice run. Have a nice day!:)
