I run therefore, I am!

I went up to Daybreak and ran with Danielle a very nice and slow paced 6 miles while Misty and Charity ran. My legs were in shock and calves were stinging. It was 35 degrees! I really would like to know when we will warm up. Ill try to run more later today. At least I  ran this morning and got 6 in. I was ready to throw my head back on the pillow. 

Ok, I went back out and did another 9 from my house up to Daybreak and around again! The wind was even worse. 

Went to Bingham High School and ran with the BBK group. we did a 3 mile warmup and then got to it on the track. 1x400 and 1200's times were 35 and 37

800 was 2:37

1000's were 3:17, 3:24, 3:20

800 was 2:40

200's were 37, 35

I walked 200 yards in between for my rest. It ended up being close to 2:10.

I met Danielle up at Daybreak this morning and we ran 12 miles around the area in two different loops. We were running a 8:30 pace and the weather trickled a bit on us. The wind picked up about 7:30 and we ran from 6 am to 7:50. 

Then I loaded up the family and went to Jordan landing for the 5k and 10k and 1 mile kids race. I was planning on running the 10k and 5k but it was raining and people were late so they started the 5k only 15 minutes after. I saw some familiar faces. I saw Mark (huans32) there and talked to him and his new bride christy. I also saw Nancy from the BBK group and her daughter. By the time our race started it started to pour. It was really coming down! Our race was nice, there were the usual quick high schoolers there to push the pace early. I did a 5:04 first mile and I believe it was mismarked. If it wasnt, i wouldve pr'd for sure running that fast. There wasnt a 2nd mile marker and I had a pretty good lead on the 2nd place runner. My garmin is lost so i used my cheapo timex watch and forgot to stop the time so I guessed a modest time, it couldve been faster.  I won the overall and I think Mark took 2nd in his age. Good job!  I love local races. they are so fun!  My oldest daughter got 2nd in her age and 2nd oldest daughter took 3rd in age. Misty took 6th in her age. I then took Bailey 7 to the start line and ran the mile kids run. She took off way fast (like her father) I had to yell for her to slow down and she did and i explained that the kids that were way ahead of her would get tired and walk. After the 1/2 mile I was right and my 7 year old was passing 10 -12 year olds that were walking. I showed her how starting a little slower will help her finish stronger. She took 1st for the girls which she had a girl sprint by her in the last 100 yards and Bailey picked it up and beat her. haha It was cute. I won a Trophy and the person on it is a girl so I gave it to Bailey.
