I was so hoping for a good run today. McKenna had a dance convention on Friday and Saturday. I decided not to stay over and sleep at my moms. We got up at 5:00 and was out the door at 5:30. I took the first mile slow (It also has a good up hill) ran it around 10:20. I knew I would need to pick up the pace at some point. I was hoping to do this run in about a 9:30 pace. I kept picking up my pace and by the end of the run I had an average pace of 9:32. I was also very pleased because I had a kick at the end and felt I could have gone a lot farther. Most my runs this year usually had me struggling to finish.
This run has given me confidence that maybe St. George wont be as bad as I thought it would be. At least I know I can finish.
As a side note.....my mom was able to ride her bike up a hill that she usually has to walk up....I was so proud of her!!! |
