I run therefore, I am!

Biked to work and will bike back home. Then hopefully run a bit.

Biked home from work. Had a ride from a cute chick that picked me up as it was snowing and took me to work. 

Biked to work and had a chat with a guy who works in the Family History place downtown. He has been riding to work for 6 years and was quite the character. We seem to hit the street at the same time so its nice to chat with him. 

Ran with Danielle early this morning. It was warmer than I thought itd be. Right hip is still bothering me. Ill decide to how fast I want to run tomorrow. I'd like to push myself but feel like playing around. I biked to work today and will bike home.

It was a bit nippy at the top! I put my attire on for my costume as a Prom date. Christa was my date. I decided that I couldnt run with it on so I opted to my singlet and shorts. Sorry Christa. Our date was short lived and I didnt even get a kiss. lol  I saw a lot of crazy costumes and a lot of crazy friends at the starting line. Lily and Mckenzie! So funny! I lined up at the start next to Steve and BJ. We started off and there was a freaking bus in the way we had to run around and it got chaotic but we managed and off we went.  The first 5 are insanely steep! I thought I was the only runner who was slapping my feet as I ran but it turned out everyone was. I ran in the group and they were pretty chipper. I told some that asked what I was doing that I really had no idea and that Id just let the first 5 miles dictate. As we hit mile 5 it felt like I was running a 7 minute pace but when I got to six realized I was staying under 6 so it was ok. I hit mile 11 and thought in my mind I might be able to hit a 1:10 so I did try harder but my legs were spent. I did get real close to BJ by mile 12 but then he poured it on and I didnt have enough in me to respond so I finished right behind him. It was a PR for me so im not complaining. Very  Very fast course. Ill bet I could easily break a 1:10 on it if I didnt have tired legs from St. George and had more miles behind me instead of resting. The medals were awesome and the shirts were bitchin!  I really like this race.  Its a definate blister maker! It was nice to see the Herriman High School XC team out on the aid stations. It really gave me a boost at mile 9 and 11! Thanks you studs and studettes!
