I coach high school swim and love it!

Met Melody at the mouth of the canyon and drove up to the bottom of south fork, warmup 2 mile going up south fork really easy the turned and we both had different workout but I could see Mel almost the whole way.  I did 2 miles at HMP and 2 @MP continues, was only going to do the 2 at hmp but it was hard to slow my pace down to easy, I had to stop and 4 and tell myself to be done.  times were 6:20, 6:15, 6:52, 6:41 then low 7's the rest of the way.  Felt good and of course the 1st 2 are aided quite a bit.

1:13:49/7:23 for the 10

Wow 2 PR's in a row after years and years of none feels good:)  I would like to thank my Heavenly Father, my Family, and my HiiT for making me stronger.

I went and stayed with Ericka along with my mom, McKenzie and Jen H the night before which was a giggle fest.  Leading into this race I have felt a bit under the weather this week feeling stuff in my upper chest but just telling myself I wasn't going to get sick, but woke up this morning feeling it more and was super horse and my chest was tight but did feel better once the race started.  Also I went with just a plain old timex, I seem to race better not paying attention to the splits and pace.  I did split the 1st 2 miles and then thought forget it this is way to much work. 

I didn't get a long warm up less than a mile due to not having time, started the race with a group of 6 ladies and it felt fun like a training run with my friends.  The pace felt good and I was thinking to my self I shouldn't be up here with Kassi and Allie and the other fast ladies but it didn't feel hard so lets just see.  1st 2 mile were 6:23 and after a mile or so Kassie started to pull away, which I expected.  I just kept on top of how I felt and tried to push but conserve for the last 3.  I did look at my watch at 7 and saw I was under 45 mins and thought wow I might be able to get a pr maybe even a 1:25.  Kept on running my own race, I would have little moment were I was like what if I can't keep this up, but then I would say Focus and you will do fine.  The last mile was hard, I could see Allie and another girl not to far ahead but just enough that I wasn't able to catch back up.  I am very happy with the race and a huge confidence builder going into Ogden marathon.

Went back with Kassi and ran Ericka in who did fabulous with a PR of her own, then ran with Kassi and Mac to cheer my mom on and then more with Mac and Jenn.  Felt good through all of it.
