I've always wanted to run my age in miles, but today was even more than that. I ran the Hobbler Half in Springville with Bill, Dylan, and Taylor. The race started at the top of Hobble Creek Canyon, and was mostly downhill. The first 6 miles were the best part of my race. I was focused, and pushing myself hard. Around mile 7 I started to get tired, and I was in between running groups so I had no one to push with. It was after mile 10 that I began to crash, hard. (Though I was laughing when my 10 mile split was only a minute slower than my first 10 K two years ago...) The last three miles were the hardest part of the race, but I finished. I was 16th overall, and the 2nd girl! Immediately after we finished, Bill made us cooldown. For 5 miles. And that was when my legs hurt really bad. I took an ice bath, but they still hurt. Oh, but at least this race was a 22 minute PR. |
