Fun race today! Thanks to my fast running friend, Taryn, I started out faster than I normally would. I stuck with her until 1.5 miles. Then she gradually got farther and farther ahead and raced off to finish her 10k. I felt good. It started out rainy a bit but didn't really rain during the run. There were two hills that were a bit challenging. I enjoyed that the finish line took me right past the American Fork cemetery where my mom is buried. I thought of Tara my sister in law who just did Boston much faster than this in the rain and thought "Just keep going." I even said a few prayers to give me strength. I didn't want to lose the momentum I had started with. Overall, great race, felt good,wore me out and that is good. I recovered quickly so maybe I should push myself harder next time. |
