I wasn’t looking forward to running this race by myself. I do miss running with Ferelyn.
Still sitting here freezing. I had to put on a space blanket because it was getting pretty cold just sitting on a rock.
What I wore to remember for next year: It was 30′ in the morning without wind 🙂 I wore a long sleeve shirt, under a lightweight running jacket, and a band for my ears. I dropped my coat and gloves 5 minutes before the race started. This was perfect. I wasn’t too hot or cold going down the mountain or in the valley.
Sipping on my smoothie 🙂 Paul makes me a running smoothie before every race. Peaches (fresh!), yogurt and a little orange juice. This smoothie keeps me full during the race, it’s not too heavy, and doesn’t do anything to my intestinal track 🙂 during the race.
This was a fun race. There was a headless horseman on a real horse just before the first mile. It made it for a fun start.
Mile 10.
At mile 12 I was very motivated to finish with a great time and started to sprint, but when I turned the corner the last mile was a hill. I said I didn’t care that much and had to walk. 🙂 I’m just not as strong as last year.
13.13 mockingbird lane, Ha!
While I was running, Eli and Paul went to breakfast at the Blue Plate Diner. They said it was good so we will have to go back.
Then they waited at the finish line for me and played at the park and the bouncy slide.
As always I really enjoyed running. I will definitely run this race again next year.
