Okay, planned on just completing this run for the runners series but still wanted to be under 9's. Started the run with Kris Bullock. She is the best!!! I would've loved to run the whole time with her but I felt like I was pushing her pace a little too much and I wanted to go a little faster. I wore my dayglow Boston shirt so I stood out like a sore thumb:) I left Kris around mile 4 or 5 and soon caught up to Kelli. I gave her a nice slap on the butt and chatted for a minute then took off. Caught up to Smooth at the turn off the the trail around the golf course. I really felt great but didn't push the pace too much. We all know I haven't been training at all and I didn't want to hurt myself. I was very comfortable until the last mile and I started getting tired but it was actually my fastest mile. I had plenty of juice left at the end to sprint to the finish. I was not passed by a single person after about mile 5 but passed A TON of people. I like it that way cuz I know I ran smart. Anywho, now maybe my motivation will come back. I had fun and love races and hate to run them when I am not trained. So....I hope to get my excitement back. Congrats to all the bloggers who ran so great.
