Race: Heart of Holladay (3.15 Miles) 00:33:34
Total Distance
3.15

This race was a beautiful course.  Our group all started out together but didn't stay together very long.  I was the last one to finish.  I had a kind of tough time - didn't have my gum that I always chew when I'm running so my mouth was really dry.  I didn't bring my water/fanny pak since it was such a short distance but I missed having water with me (it was also the warmest weather we've run in yet).  I also missed having sweat rag. And I didn't bring my iPod and should have since we weren't together.  Next time I'll bring it all.

I do feel good that I bettered my time by 3 1/2 minutes and I ran straight for 2 miles.  I walked up the 2 small hills.  I think I do better with the set intervals.  The minute walks are very good for me.

It was a fun race and it was so great to have Leslie come and cheer us on.  Best of all was Paul came to cheer us on and take pictures.

Great job on bringing that time down! That is a big jump and shows good improvment.

Great job today! It was a tough course. Way to PR!

Wow, that is great that you were able to take off that much time on a hot day and a hilly course! ...Not to mention the lack of...gum? (How can you run with gum? I would definitely choke on it if I tried to race with gum.) Anyway, great job and keep it up!

Great effort. Me and my son (Falcon) ran that. I think it seemed hot because we were having such a cool weather spring and yes that last hill was tough. Good luck on your marathon training

I really wanted to meet all of you today! I wish we could have met up. Great job on a hot and hilly course!
