This is a women's only race in Park City that gives out lots of cool pink stuff. I signed up for this race a long, long time ago, but a series of small injuries and lack of motivation really disrupted my training the last 2 months. I planned to use this race as an easy training run and to run whatever pace kept my breathing under control and did not aggravate the pain in my glute that started yesterday. Turns out that was about 9:40 pace. Ouch. I knew I had lost fitness, but didn't realize it was this much. I ran the PC half in August (similar course) almost 12 minutes faster. But it was a great day for running, Park City in the fall is gorgeous, and it was nice to see 700+ women decked out in pink running.
