Just really happy right now.
Ran the race I wanted to. My pace did slow from mile 20 to the finish, but I was okay with that. We were all in the same boat ... it was HOT, and I was running the best I could for that moment. I turned on some tunes (compliments of Fonz's "help dull the pain" collection) and held on for dear life. :)
It was great to run a bit with Matt (best physiology prof EVER), Larry and Lyman. It was also quite satisfying to slap Slick as hard as I could on his buttocks around mile 22 (payback).
It has been a wonderful running season. I accomplished more than I thought I could. I PR'd and ended up placing 3rd overall in the Slam. The plaque was really nice and I received a $50 gift card to Wasatch Running as well. Nice!!!
As always, it was so good to spend time with friends. There were so many of us that met up at the buses that we almost filled one entirely by ourselves. VERY COOL!!
** Quick question: Why is it that each time I could tell that someone was about to throw up (happened 4 times) that I told myself: "Teena, don't look" AND THEN I PROCEEDED TO LOOK????
A HUGE CONGRATS TO
SO MANY OF YOU WHO KICKED
THAT COURSE'S TRASH!!!
