Running My Butt Off

Just putting my 2009 times into the blog so I can have room for my 2010 race times. Yes, I'm already thinking of them, especially since my sister and 2 bonus sisters Amber and Emilee just got into the Moab Half-Marathon in March. Go, us! Guess I will have to quit skipping the long runs....

I set myself a little goal: 10 races this summer. I'm absolutely NOT FAST, but I hope for improvement:
Sat 5/21: 5k: 31:55 (5th in my age group...of 20-don't get too excited)
Mon 5/23: 5k: 29:09
Sat, 6/6: 5k: 27:43
Sat 6/13: 10 miles: 1:42:22
Sat 6/20: 5k: 27:31
Sat 7/4: 5k: 26:21
Sat 8/1: 5k: 29:21. I totally sucked-the whole time my internal dialogue was, "Huh. Sure don't feel like running today." I was beaten by a 6 year old, a man in denim shorts, and a brown lab. And Bruce. Oh, the humiliation.
Sat 8/8: 5k: 27:29
Sat 9/19: 3k with Kate: 22:46. And I'm mad. They lumped all the kids in an age group of 5-14 so she had NO CHANCE of winning a medal because she was racing against 14 yr olds.
Sat 11/7: Pocatello Half Marathon: 2:11:32.6 (to be exact) 22/47 in my age group.
Thurs 11/26: 10k/Mesa: 59:59
