This race was to officially kick off marathon training with our first long run. I haven't run more than 8 miles since the Moab Half-Marathon in March so I was actually a little nervous when it got here and I hadn't trained more. But the race went great. We were bused up Southfork canyon to Camp Big Springs and ran down the canyon then over to Riverwoods. We started out pretty fast and maintained a fast pace (thanks to Jill who was the ultimate pace bunny...and a VERY cute one at that). We averaged just under 8:30 min/miles and finished in 1:25. It was fun to push myself and still feel ok at the end. I am so dang lucky to have such a great group of girls to run with.

I didn't get the best picture of it...but I've been on the hunt for a great race outfit and I wore my latest purchase to this race. If you can see it...what do you think? Does it make me look fast? Skinny? Cute when I'm sweaty? Does it match my Garmin?
