WE DID IT!!!!

We did the 16 miler this morning and for me it went great!!  I went with Desiree and Jenny.  when we started out it was dark and cold.  Had a long sleeve shirt but just for the first mile and then took it off to my sleeveless running shirt.

We did the  Wasatch Route and then added on the Porter Rockwell trail and The Draper Canal Trail and then ended up running on the Bangerter Parkway and part way out the frontage road and then back to the Harmon's that is right there by the freeway. 

I felt really good and could have kept going and probably should have but we were having my dad pick us up and had already told him where to meet us.

Details are:  3:21 time / 12:27 avg pace

This time we did a 5 min run/ 1 min walk interval and I think that was the key for me feeling so much better and like I could keep going.  I think that is going to be my plan for the marathon.

Good job Lisa and gang! Don't you love saying 16 miles and you felt good?!

On my blog you said something about running for Sarah. I'm not sure what you are talking about. Was someone getting a number for you and you thought it was me getting it? I just thought I'd clue you in that I have no clue what you are talking about. But that is life for me lately. No clue!

OK Lisa, I was with Tom for lunch and he explained what you mean. Sarah that ran with me who's not running SGM because she has been sick. Her and her hubby are sending them back for entries into next year. Sorry, I did say life for me lately is "no clue"!
