DISNEY HALF-MARATHON

Half-Marathon. Check.

Time: 3:12:20 (3 minutes ahead of my real goal and 18 minutes ahead of my loser goal)

Getting Darker, Getting Faster

Like the crazy girl I am, I talked Anna into running the E.T. Midnight 10K with me in Rachel, Nevada-A 2 1/2 hour drive away to a race that starts at 1am for the 10k-ers. So we strapped on our glow necklaces, headlamps, and matching alien green running tops and ran under the full moon. Seriously, I watched a group of coyotes cross the highway ahead of me...creeeeepy!

Even though I was recovering from an injury from our 9 miler 2 weeks before, I made a new personal record! Yea me!

Race Stats:
Placed: 24 out of 40
Distance:10K (even though it was really 6.47miles)
Total time: 1:20:45
Pace: 12:47 min/mile

Anna finished 14th! Way to go girl!!!!

Disneyland is only 4 weeks away!!!!

Bike Seat Rant

What sadistic person created the bicycle seat? It still feels like it is crammed up my tush 12 hours later!

Flush

I have decided to give "cleansing" a try. I have heard so many people talk about all the health benefits from cleansing. But man. My head is throbbing right now! And I have only been drinking the "lemonade" for 10 hours. How will I ever last 10 days?

The potion that I am brewing contains: 2 Tb Lemon Juice, 2 Tb Pure Organic Maple syrup, 1/10 tsp cayenne pepper and water.

Hope it is worth it! I have only had to run to the potty twice so far....

10K Completed!!! WooHooo!!!

Today was the day to up my mileage to 6 miles, so feeling very confident I figured, "Why not do a whole 10K and run 1/4 mile more?" So I did it! I feel great. I love running with Anna. Time and distance just fly by while we chat away!

10K Stats (unfortunately, including my 5 minute walking warm up padded it a little on the slow side):

Distance: 6.27 miles (plus 1 mile = 7.o5 total today)
Time: 1:25'49"
Pace: 13'40"
Calories burned:1064 WOW!

E.T. 10K HERE I COME!

Hotter Than HADES!!!

Seriously? Who signs up with for a race in LAS VEGAS. In SUMMER. Called RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL? The INSANE, that's who! Did I mention I have always been sensitive to the heat? Even suffered heat exhaustion a few times before? What was I thinking? I will never ever ever ever never do that again. I did not find heat exhaustion pleasant. It took six full days for the dehydration, fatigue, and just plain nasty feeling to go away.

But regardless, here are my STATS...pretty crummy, but I think they are amazing considering it was 95 DEGREES with NO SHADE, and UPHILL for a mile and a half. Did I mention I am NEVER doing this again?

5k Chip Time 43:45
Placed: tied with Ms. Anna for 2nd in our age group!!!!
Pace time 14:04

Another Record!

I RAN 5 MILES TODAY! I am e.l.a.t.e.d. I feel good, not winded, not wiped. . .like I can do more. I am getting there...
