morning:

FUN FUN FUN race!!! First ... let me say that I was most excited about my 10 year old daughter's 5K!!! You should read her race report http://sophia.fastrunningblog.com/ she is unbelievably awesome!!!!!!! 5th overall for women and 1st in her AG. Ry had an AWESOME time running with her!!!!

In short ... I was really worried how my foot would do. I am happy to report that she behaved very well!!!

I didn't feel as strong as I did at the Park City Half, but hopefully that is largely due to my worrying about my foot. :)

This is a 3 1/2 minute course PR for me. I have run it two other times and each time I pretty much run it in exactly half the time that I run SGM. This gives me high hopes for the marathon if I can keep the foot happy. :)

Was wonderful to see and talk to so many people! A huge congrats to Rachelle on her 5K and Josse on her half! Those women are insanely FAST!!!! Also a huge congrats to Smooth and her hubby (who ran his first 5K)!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

A SPECIAL thanks to Kim and Tom Lee who made this race INCREDIBLE!!!!

(1 warm up mile before the race, 1 mile to get Smooth and then 1 mile with Smooth, and then 4 miles with Ry on the JRP when we got home.)

Headed out to Blackridge reservoir now for an open water swim. I really hope that I won't drown. Pretty tired. :)

afternoon

Didn't drown!!! :) 4 times around the perimeter of Blackridge Reservoir. I think that is little over one mile. I just relaxed and swam slowly (which is basically all I do when I swim ... I like to enjoy it). It felt great!

Hungry like a wolf now!! :) :) :)

Great race Teena. That's a big course PR.

I can't stop smiling when I look at that picture of Sophia. She is so awesome!!! :-)

Great race Teena! A 3.5 minute course improvement is significant! You should be feeling confident for XTERRA coming up :)

So proud of your daughter too - 25 minutes at her age? She has some talent!

Sophia is so cute! and fast.

Great race with the course PR and then to throw in a long swim, no wonder you were hungry. Hopefully you rewarded yourself with some good grub.

From Teena Marie on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 11:20:34 from 155.99.173.111

Rhett~

Sophia is definitely a rockstar!!! I had plenty to eat afterwards. Sophia got to pick where we ate so that we could celebrate her win! She picked a place called Rock Creek Pizza Co. It is an all you can eat pizza and salad joint. :) :) :) (We definitely got our money's worth.)

Sophie is absolutely the cutest thing alive! It was so fun to meet her and your hubby. You have a great family and are just such a positive and amazing person. I really admire you Teena.

Congrats on the huge course PR! Sub 3:20 at SGM for you this year for sure. :)
