Felt awful today. Didn't get out until after noon and just hadn't eaten or drinken enough in the morning to have a productive run. But at least I am starting to get out consistently again.

Met up with Merilee. Haven't gotten up early to run since this past fall, so it has been nice to feel some motivation again. Fun to have someone to chat with as well.

Met up with Merilee again. Headed up Shadow Valley and looped down to South Ogden. Ran to the South side of the Dee for a little extra mileage. It had been feeling good to get going early and not waste my morning away.

Are you going to be running Huntsville again? It's hard to turn down a free entry.

Nice to see your back. We need to meet up for a run.

Kam- we are signing up again, but Cam has gotten into graduate school this fall, so there is a good chance we won't be around. So we will see.

Angie, I would to meet up! When do you go running?

Watched Sariah & Katie's kids while they went out on a tempo. When they got back I just headed out on a run. Felt pretty good, the weather was so nice. Low 30s but with the sun shining it was perfect t-shirt weather mid run

Stroller run with the girls and Kristie Muhlestein. She had never run over 3 miles before. Love to see new runners begin to grow a love for the sport.

Ran for 1.5 miles and then Cameron and I took advantage of having the girls with their grandparents and went to hike Malans Peak. Beautiful morning and nice to get hiking again.

Met up with Merilee at 6:45 for a 45 minute run. Beautiful morning. So excited to see how the marathon goes for her, and hoping she breaks her 3 hour goal. She seems very prepared and ready. She has been the perfect long run training partner a couple times a week.

Waking up to the rain pouring down didn't make me too happy initially, but overall I had a great day. I knew I wasn't in the shape to really race today, so I decided to enjoy it the best I could, and enjoy relaxing and running with a different crowd. My brother-in-law, Jordan, was running his debut half marathon, so we decided to start out together. I had every intention of leaving him behind because I knew his training hadn't been great, but he definitely surprised me and we ran the race together from start to finish.

 It was fun to relax this race. The Ogden Half marathon is my favorite race, and while I was slightly depressed to know I wasn't in the shape to repeat my past performances (1st in 2006, 2nd in 2007) I loved waking up before the sun. I even thought at the start that most mornings I would still be sleeping, and told myself to look at how much of the day I was wasting! I accepted the rain as I headed to the start line and actually enjoyed it until 2 minutes after I finished the race and started shivering.

 

Here are the splits:

 

7:58, 7:40, 7:39, 7:33, 7:19, 7:19, 7:41, 7:27, 7:20, 7:15, 7:34, 7:48, 7:39, 7:26 (for last 0.25)

 

My watch calculated the race at 13.25 miles. Glad I was able to break 1:40 and averaging 7:33 wasn't bad either.

Great race Lesley! I don't know how I missed seeing you:( we seriously need to meet up soon for a run. What's your racing plans for the rest of summer/fall? Hunstville again? I am running hunstville again. You should come do it too:)
