I figured it STILL warranted a blog entry. :) I loved our run on Saturday. Amanda pretty much made a course that was based on two things 1) pretty houses 2) the last 4 miles of the marathon. We snaked our way up through Ogden salivating on Marilyn, (oooh Erin CUTE house for sale, btw) and ran through an area I hadn't been before above 22nd-20th. Then we attacked the last part of the marathon. It was a really good mental prep for next Saturday. Both of us kinda went silent when we hit Grant Ave and focused on picking up our pace. We both had different mantras as we were running, I'll let Amanda tell you hers...mine was "enjoy. float." I said it each time my foot landed. Enjoy. Float. Trying to mentally trick my mind that on Saturday when I'm at 25.8 miles and hit Grant that I'm going to ENJOY it and my body will FLOAT to the finish line. ;) I thought it worked out okay. We ended our run going up through the historic district and checking out all the pppppuuuurdy houses up there...once again salivating and pining for homes we cannot possibly afford. We found one that was 6,000 square feet had 11 rooms. Holy Moly.
It was an awesome run, great weather and good company. I can't lie and say that only going 10 miles didn't feel DIVINE. But, I know I can do it on Saturday. I'm totally ready for this marathon ladies. It's going to be relaxing and fun... yes yes it will.
We DID IT!!!
