Ran the first 16 with Rennie in the SG Marathon. I met ren at the expo to pick up our numbers. I felt so dumb being there since I hadn't run once since labor day. I was starting to get a little worried by now wondering if I had it in me to do 16, since I just realized snow canyon park was at 16 instead of 14. THhe expo seemed really small this year. I don't know if it was because Boston was so huge or if there werent very many merchants this year. Laur and I went to the football game and DHHS was way up by half time so we went home. I finally started getting ready. Ren wsa really nervous and wnt to bed around 10PM. I got to sleep around 11PM and set the alarm clock for 4:30AM. I woke up around 4:15 and decided to get going. We got to the bus and realized we had forgot our breakfast, so I ran back to the car to get it. I was glad I wasn't running for time in the race or this would have really thrown me off. We hung out at the start line. I tried to keep rennies mind off the race until we got started. We jumped in around 5 minutes after the start gun. We just chatted and ran together. I found myself running about 20 seconds faster than I wanted to take her, but she seemed great. By veyo we were on pace for around 4:15. at Dammeron we were on pace for 4:30. I pulled off at the cinder cone. Other than my toes, I was feeling okay. I think I could have gone 20+ at that pace, but the socks I used were too think and both big toe nails turned black by the next day. I went to cedar just in time to get to the game. I coached the 5th graders and we whipped them 42-28. It was a good day.
