Provo Freedom Run 10k

Prefect morning to run a 10k. It was almost humid, but not hot. Ran part of my warm up w/ Julie Thomas and had a few minutes till the start. I had a lot of family running. My husband, brother-in-law and his family of 4, two sisters and their husbands, and mother-in-law walking pushing Lee. No dressing up this year. I left that up to my sister Wonder Woman.

I got out hard for the first 3 miles of the race (5:46 pace) and then backed off. Today was going to be a long day and I didn't want to be wasted. Letting up was very easy to do since it is mostly up hill the last half. I managed to hold on to the win and still felt strong at the end.  I think I was 9th overall, which is probably my best overall finish in this race.  After I finished and cheered in friends and my husband, we ran back a mile to find my little Lee. They were definately the last ones bringing in the rear.

I think my AP was 6:00 (37:23).  Saw lots of Sojourners at the awards!  Amber won the 5k, and Melody in 3rd.  Super impressive by those two! 

Fun tradition.
