Tomorrow is the big day!!!

So, I won't lie, I am so completely nervous for the Pioneer Day 10k race tomorrow morning. Yes, I did run the Freedom 10k run and did pretty well.. but that race didn't have foothill drive in it.

Want to know the scariest part? I looked up last year's results for the race... only 83 people ran it... 83!!!! Usually the races that I run in have 500-1200 people! This is going to be the 2nd year that they are holding this race.

So.. here are the possibilities of what may happen tomorrow:

• Everyone who ran it last year thought the race was a bust and won't run it again
• They'll invite all their friends and family and more people will be running it
• There will only be 10 people and I will come in 10th.

Oh well, come what may, right?


A side note:

The good thing about running races? A lot of people don't think about this but races provide opportunities for service. As you're running your guts out and sweating out your ears- you're actually supporting causes like breast cancer, mental illness and hunger awareness, etc... See.. I might be crazy- but to run with a purpose other than to pin a number on your shirt isn't that bad. I will continue to pay to run races and I will be even more excited when that race is for service. Tomorrow I will be supporting Wasatch Mental Health patients.

7/10 morning run

I'm not a fan of running early in the morning... but b/c my night is going to be very busy... I had no other choice. I love Utah and the mountains... but the only thing I don't like is for how long the sun takes to come up over the mountains. It was a little chilly, but the sun finally came up and over the mountains right when I was finishing :-)

One more thing... 3 more lbs down.. totaling: 13lbs! Lastnight I went shopping for clothes. Well, I should specify... JEANS! I have been in desperate need for jeans b/c the pair that I have been wearing the most have gotten very baggy and very worn out. I bought a size 6! It has been FOREVER since I've seen that number :-) It was a very happy night.

Anyways... here is my run

6/27 run

Whew- I'm beat!!

6/25 run

whew... this one was a little hard- but I did it!

6/23 run

This is my run from last night. I won't lie, I was a little disappointed for how long it took me, oh well. here it is!

6/16 run

Today I was thinking about how many states I have run in. Either for races or just for runs while I was on vacation and I have to say... there are quite a few that I have run in. Here they are:

New Hampshire
Vermont
Maine
Massachusetts
Utah
Nevada
California
Oregon
Colorado
Arkansas
Florida
Texas

12 out of the 50. I think it would amazing to run in all 50 states- for me or for anyone. I think that would be a long shot for me. Besides, what reason would I have to go to N or S Dakota? Exactly... no reason at all!

Anyways, here is my run for today:

I did it!!!!

10 lbs down!!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am. Only 10 more to go... I have a feeling it will be a little harder to get rid of the last 10. Isn't that how it always is?

It would be awesome to lose it all by the time Jon get's home from his internship- I will have lost all this weight and be even cuter :-) Wishful thinking... I will sure try though!
