AM-1 mile warm up

chad and I decided to use this as a training run, although after I started and could see the main pack just in front of me, so I decided to go a little faster!  Besides a girl led the whole dang race.  Whats up with that?  She ran so strong, so good for her. The first couple miles I was chatting with a guy that said he didnt think it was right that a girl should win, but I told him I am too old to do anything about it!

The hill was tough, but I just relaxed up it and didn't redline, so I could save for the down hill.  The only problem was the 15 mph headwind for the rest of the race.  Mile 8 & 9 I started to worry that I went out too fast, but all the miles I have been logging ended up really paying off.  My last 3 miles were so strong and I just felt really really good. 

I did a cool down around hurricane and then called it good.  I didn't stay for the medals because I had to grocery shop and get kire to soccer in cedar.  Laur went with saucy to volleyball in SLC, so she didn't get home until this evening. 

I have to say, Alexa rocked out the track meet on Thursday. She broke the school record and qualified for BYU.  I think she is going to really help the team in region.

Nice race, in spite of the headwind.

Haha good job. That was a crazy race. If she had won the whole thing I would have just been thoroughly impressed. One guy I passed actually said, "Don't let her beat us man!" I thought it was funny.
