This was my second fastest time on this course!!  I totally think I can get a PR next year.  It was 21 degrees and I didn't have very high expectations for this race.  Lots of traveling and missed days of running.  But I think those few speed workouts I did a few weeks ago definitely helped.  

I tried to just run a moderate pace for the first mile.  We hit a slight downhill for the 2nd mile. I cheered on the Ballard girls.  Hitting puke zone for the 3rd mile.  Trying not to get passed by high school kids for the 4th mile.  I was super excited to hit a sub 8:00mm.  I left right away to get home to cook dinner.

2 mile walk in my own.  1 mile walk with the dog.  I really like being outside.  Feeling the sun on my face, sweating, feeling the wind....it all makes me such a better person.
