Personal:

I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

PM run with Jackie and Ana. Jackie already did her tempo run for the week so the girls were nice enough to run an out and back route so they could keep an eye on me.

I didn't really pay attention to my watch and wanted to run more by feel. I was really surprised at the outcome. It must have been a good running day for me. :)

Pace was challenging but I never felt like it was too hard.

Splits 7:20, 7:06, 6:58, 7:11, 7:17, 7:05, 1:08 for .2 --Total 44:18 for 10k-- AP 7:09

The thing I kept telling myself is something Jackie said to me in St. George  "You are faster (or Stronger, I can't remember) than you think you are." Jackie has so much confidence in my ability as a runner. That really helped me to have confidence in myself for this run. :)
