Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

Jogged from my house to the start with Josse & Julia 2.5 mi.  Coming off of the 20 mile trail run + epic fall of the century I kind of knew this race would not be pretty.  It did not dissapoint and was very not pretty.  It is a positive split course which I just completely suck at.  Oh well it was a great workout nonetheless and a very fun morning with family and friends!  6:13, 6:11, 6:19, 6:24, 6:34, 6:28, 1:24.  I think I got my heart rate up too high too early and I just couldn't ever relax and never felt comfortable.  It felt really forced and I was super happy to be done.

My parents got home from Las Vegas at 3:30am on Monday morning and came to cheer for me and watch me finish.  My Mom was at mile 5.8 and my Dad at the finish.  My boyfriend was also at the finish and came to watch me even though he had a really lonnnnng day at work ahead.  I seriously have the coolest people in my life!  So thankful for the ability to run, the amazing support system I have, and the running community.  My training partner Jen won the 5K and my friend Julia won 2nd in her age group in the 10k.  Also fun to see Scott, Melissa, Josse, Rachel and so many others run great races.  Payson Onion Days puts on a really great race!

Congrats on the win! There is definitely something about the 10K that is a killer if the first mile or two are just a teensey bit fast.

I was looking at the results of this race and saw that you won by hundredths of a second against a very good runner, so now what does that say? That you are tough, tough, tough, right down to the finish, even when you're not feeling 100%. Great job!
