Ran up behind the Capitol after work. Started at the bottom of the canyon and went to the top which is exactly 5.66 miles from the gate. My stupid left achilles started bugging me! ugh neverending. I iced it and am resting from a long day.Oh I ran into another snake. Thats two for two SNAKEYES!  Am i lucky or what? If anyone wants to see a snake come run with me after 2 pm in City Creek. There are a lot!

So I came back from the doc. and he said I looked ok but not to push it in the half. He said to run 70% if I do which would be impossible unless someone ties a rope from me to the 7 minute pace group.  So here is what I decided. I am going to pace Carina to a 3:15 marathon time and all those that want to shoot for that time can join in!  This will help my training for the World Championships that Im preparing for. So let it be written, so let it be done.

This is my fastest marathon this year that Carina helped pace me in. I have no report that I could write that would take away from her report so go look her up and congratulate her!

It was good to see friends and foes, I think thats a good word. But if it isnt then its those that dislike me and jimmy crack corn...

I am amazed at how when I run with different people I learn so much! I would not have thought we wouldve pulled off a 3:15 with a half marthon time close to 1:41. Carina showed me different!  Good job girly!

Oh, I have to tell this quick story! I met a guy who had crocs on at the porta potti line and I asked him if he was going to run in them and told the story of Sasha running this race last year and doing a good time. He laughed and assured me no and he opened up his running bag and was getting ready for the shoe switch when...no shoes! He looked up with a sick look and said, "yep! Im running in Crocs!" I saw him at the finish and Carina and I asked him how he did and he laughed. He made it though.
