Tough 10/Mystery Mountain Weekend


It's a busy race weekend for Lance and myself. I ran the Tough 10 here in Auburn this morning. My goal was to run the 10 miles in 1:15 which would be a 7:30 average pace. I was shocked to cross the finish line at 1:14:20! It was pretty warm and humid for my race preferences :) Pretty hilly course, but overall great race. I came in 2nd overall female and was extremely happy. The girl who beat me was one heck of a runner and deserved 1st place a lot more than I did!
Lance left after my race this morning to go to Georgia and prepare for his race tomorrow morning, the Mystery Mountain Marathon! It is a trail marathon, and supposed to be a very tough course. A couple of days ago, Lance was reading me some information on the race that warned the runners not to feed the bears!!! Oh dear, please say special prayers of safety for Lance, I will appreciate it very much :) I have a feeling he will do great, he deserves an amazing race!
Next week we start increasing all of our daily runs, so I'm relaxing for the remainder of the day, although 10 miles is a pretty wimpy run at this point of our training, and I'm kind of jealous Lance is getting a marathon in, although he is Superman :) I'll take an easy day, though and catch up on some school work~
GOOD LUCK LANCE!!!!!
