Run
Comments: I felt really good and strong for this--which may mean I could have pushed harder. It's funny, this is the first time I've ever raced 5 miles, and I finished and felt great, and I can already feel myself thinking, 'and next year I want to run 8 minute miles...' This stuff is addictive, people aren't kidding. What would you do differently?: I wouldn't stop for the water. I think I was hydrated enough, but I was staying with Lisa for the first half. After she dropped back, I ran with Vicky and Paula and we talked the entire time--it was fun and social but I probably should have run faster. I would also push myself more. I've been sickly all week, so I wasn't sure how it would feel, but it felt fine and I could have gone a bit faster. Tracy was saying that weights really help with running. I need to find out what kinds. Post race
Warm down: walked around looking for my friend and Max. Talked with everyone, cheered for people. Ate a banana, drank gatorade and a half a beer. It was a fine symbolic gesture but it didn't taste that great. What limited your ability to perform faster: I was yakking. Also I wasn't sure how it would feel to run that far (it's far for me). I wanted to make sure I didn't die, and I think I saved too much. Massage? I wish... Event comments: It's a pretty run, and they did well at blocking off traffic. I liked it, and I'm pretty proud of myself for running that far and feeling that good. Also that I knew and liked that many people there. I've come a long way in the year and a half I've lived here.

Wait for babysitter (my friend Christine) to show up. Drive to AB. Park and take bus to B'fort. Drink sports drink the entire time. Pee a thousand times. Caught a ride in the back of a pick up with Vicky, Paula and Mark--I only know VIcky, and not very well. It was fun.
Wandered around talking to everyone--besides Lisa, Matthew, Zoe, I saw Rachel, Sharon, Jenn, Tracy and Sara. It was very cool to know so many folks there.
