Not my best, but as usual with Run13, the course was over by .10 Sorry but even if the USTAF says its ok for them to mark it over, it bugs that they mark it over every time. The competitive part of me wants to swipe 20-30 seconds from this finish time. (same for you Allie!)  Forgot that I was running this today and did split squats weighted at the gym yesterday. Woke up with serious dead hips today. My husband dropped me while at a red light on University Ave. My eyes welled up with tears on the bumper to bumper drive down University, as I watched the half marathoners. Most heavy breathing and struggling. I haven't run a long distance race for almost 2 years and I watched them longingly. Saw Jen Hughes and Allie at the start, hucked my gum over the top of everyone to the bushes on the side of the road, it didn't make it. Some bawled man got it in the head oops :/

splits: 6:34 6:37 6:50.  I didn't have the fitness to hold the 3rd mile in the 6:30's but I expected that with all the time off since Middle March. 

Fingers crossed for running well May-Sept. Pact with Satan?

Ran another mile with bandit daughter Maile in the kids race. She kicked butt. 7:30 mile. She got to the start about 12 seconds after the race start and passed 98% of the kids. Only my daughter... :) 

3 more fast miles on the river trail at home. Son riding his bike next to me.

Very nice today, Lily. Especially because there was NO PAIN! Thanks for saying "hi," it was fun seeing you. Congrats on a season opener at 20:4X!

i'm so happy i got to see you today. you ran great and i'm glad you didn't have any leg issues (other than dead hips). i think you have a great summer of running ahead of you.

Great work!! I am with you on races measuring long, it' so disheartening!!

From Bec on Sun, May 05, 2013 at 19:59:04 from 71.195.240.22

Guess more Sunday sin runs if you pact with Satan. The gum part made me laugh, not gonna lie. Poor guy.

This race isn't bad lily, and you will be out there kickin the shiz. No Utah Valley?

From Lily on Sun, May 05, 2013 at 20:12:35 from 67.199.178.95

Thanks for the nice comments but I am not in very good shape.

Bec I'm registered for UVM Half, I dropped down from the full. I dont know how I'll even pull off the half :/ I am lacking fitness and confidence

From Bec on Sun, May 05, 2013 at 21:32:58 from 71.195.240.22

Lily, you still have 5 weeks and I know you can do it! Last year I ran with you, Rachelle, and Rachel up and down that canyon. I had trained hard and you said you had barely been running. You totally kicked trash just on that training run! I have faith in you.

From Rachelle on Mon, May 06, 2013 at 10:53:59 from 159.212.71.77

Yay! A great start to the Summer racing season for you Lily. Congratulations!

Go Maile go! That girl is so stinking cute. :-)

Nice job on the 5k. You still have a lot of great races in your future. Stay positive, you are an amazing runner.
