bed at 915pm up at 415am.  Ran at 535am in the humid air with my tight torso and legs-- old lady like.  First mile 9:44 !! : D  gotta love it!!  AP 8:35.   September 29th I am running Julie's 5K here in Ol' Pleasant Grove/American Fork. It will start at   7:15am.  The starting line is 1800 North and 1300 West by the white picket fence.  I will head south and turn left on the road that the AF hospital is on then turn left (this is the 1 mile mark) at  1100 North and run to 600 west and turn left (2 miles) then turn left again on to 1800 north until 1300 west (starting line and third mile just before here) and turn left down 1300 west briefly until 3.1 miles :D.  Then nice cool down to my house for 0.4 miles.  Anyone interested??  probably will get Jane and Kim to join me :D  at least I will see them from a distance!!!    total elev gain 48 feet and loss the same since it is a circle route.  First mile down hill, second mile flat, last mile uphill.  Fun times!!  Obviously it is not much up or down-- pretty honest course!!  It is the AF 5 k course but starting near my house instead.  AF now puts on the half marathon and 5k in June so they no longer put on the 5k in September.  Reply if you want to run this 5k.

Good plan for the 5k Julie! I will come and be official cheerleader/time nazi if you'd like. :)

why don't you just get my slow butt moving fast and pace me for a 19:30? Not sure if THAT can happen. are you going to answer my five hour energy question Rachelle?? yay or nay on 5ks and 10ks?? It is all about gauging my abilities. I am most certain I can't go under 19 minutes in this lifetime unless I am on Mt. Nebo ;D.

haha yes I took half of a 5 hour energy before the 5k. :) Honestly it is probably more of a mental boost than physical.....but it's working for me so I'm sticking too it! I'll probably need a full 5 hour energy every 5k of the marathon.
