Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Wow, Thanks JD for helping me put a TEN'er back up on the board. That feels good. Met JD at the bottom of Millcreek and Scott drove us to the top so we could run down. I can't remember if this the 3rd or 4th year I've done this run in the fall. I love the tradition, It makes me so happy to be up there. And I love how fast those miles fly by in that canyon. It's a beautiful, perfect way to start a Fall Saturday morning. 

Not gonna lie, I struggled. Haven't run hardly at all since the marathon and it was obvious. I was a little annoyed it got so hard {esp at the end} You think that just bc you ran a marathon, a ten miler will be a piece of cake. And it wasn't . I think JD said our avg was 9:47?? Which isn't bad, but last time we ran it, we were a Lot faster. {my bad} 

Anyway, Thank you JD for making the drive to meet me. Thanks for the company and the fun morning. I had a lot of fun and I'm SOO glad I did it. I've missed that high you get when you know you just did something cool. So Thank you for helping make it happen. GET HIGH 

P.s. Sorry the pictures SUCK! stupid phone.  

p.s.s. When I got home, I realized my sports bra was on inside out. No wonder it was so hard to fasten. I just assumed it was bc I was tired & it was dark when I put it on.
