 1 mile warm up - 9.02
Met lyns & lily for 7 - don't think Lyns was too excited about waking up this morning. she finally came around though :) We ran 2 miles to the SF jr high, then ran the SF memorial day 5k route and ran 2 home. (splits: 8.13, 8.32 (somewhat uphill), 7.50 (somewhat downhill), 8.17, 7.58, 7.51, 8.04
added 1 cool down mile 8.01 Should somehow find a way to squeeze in one more mile to be in the double dig's today. No more tri for me tomorrow. Our super speedy swimmer had to back out, so I am thinking about going to Provo canyon and running up a ways then running down w/ the 1/2 marathon racers... * * Mapleton Moonlight Half Marathon Race Report * * So my neighbor Chad somehow talked me into running the Mapleton Half last night around 6pm. (I guess I got in the double digits today after all) I called the race director and she said I could register at Jolley's campground, so I decided I'd give it a try. My husband seemed to be really pushing for me to run this race for some reason. I think maybe he wanted me around in the morning? Still not sure why, but I'm glad I did b/c it was a blast! The name of the game for the Moonlight Half was to come in 1st right after midnight. Not a fan of that really. I would prefer everyone starting at the same time, but what can you do? :) I started at 10 pm and came in at 11:45.
Here are my splits:
Mile 1 - 7.40 2 - 7.38 3 - 7.30 4 - 7.56 5 - 7.29 6 - 7.37 7 - 7.45
8 - 8.08 - Started to lose some steam :) and this is where we left the canyon and started running around town.
9 - 8.16 10 - 8.25 11 - 8.27 - really lost some steam I guess
12 - 8.06 - felt pretty good the last 2 miles.
13 - 7.58 I had to take one potty break and I got lost one time. Luckily it was a dead end so I knew I was going the wrong way. The post race food was the best! And it really was a lot of fun seeing all these crazy people w/ flashing glowsticks running w/ the full moon. Luckily I didn't see any werewolves. Although if I were to see a werewolf I would hope it would be Taylor Lautner.
