ran 4 easy miles in downtown phoenix.

Woke up and ran 4 miles with Jeff, Kory, and Steve from downtown Phoenix hotel. My legs were extremely tight from sleeping on the hard concrete floor in the hotel room. I dindnt get a bed because threes a crowd in a queen size bed, and also the fact that Steve was extremely leery of having me that close to him.  I can run along side him but next to him in a bed is where he draws the line. The main reason really was my story I had told him about sharing a bed in moab with a friend that couldnt get a room down there and when I woke up in the morning my hand was on his back. So as you could only imagine the homophobic situation I created. 

We then went to James and Libbys house who by the way were so gracious in letting us invade them this weekend!  We rested and then drove out to the start of our race. 

I was runner 5 in the first Van with Dave, Logan, Nick, Clyde, and James. We had some amazing times come from all our runners in my van. I was grateful for the incredible lead they gave me by my first run (Close to 5 minutes) I ran my buns off and kept the competitor from gaining time on me (Thank goodness!)
