Fun race put on by Allie and James. It was fun to see other bloggers too! Today I was hoping for sub 6:15 pace but would have liked to be around 6:00, if I could. Although my time was fine-ish, the effort was harder than I would have liked. Dang it. I was super tired after 800m. My body felt like a Zombie from waking up till now. I took a caffeine pill to help, it just made me hyperverbal and annoying. Oh well. There looked to be around 30 people total, but not all running the 5k. Most were running a relay. I was either last or first, not sure. I think only one other girl was running the full 5k. I ran alone and focused on how tired I was rather than how well I was doing:) I need to run more 5k's to toughen up! My times were the opposite of negative splits- 6:06,6:15,6:20, 5:52 (.15). Talented, huh?:) Afterwards I went on a nostalgic jaunt around Sugarhouse park, running the state high school XC course. Ah, the memories. I even finished on the track. I came home to a bleeding toddler. My husband was rough housing with the kids and Landon hit his head on the fireplace. Luckily, Steve had Lidocaine and sutures on hand so we were able to bypass the dreaded Instacare. Every kid needs their head stitched up at least once. Busy day, we are heading out to visit family for the weekend! Don't rob us, our poodle-of-sorts dog will be here. Hope everyone has a good weekend full or racing and running! (Ls 3h 3m, ds 2h 22m)
