Runnin' of the Green 7k

My March race is complete!  Bryn and I conquered the Runnin' of the Green 7k this morning in Denver.  It was super cold when we first arrived downtown.  Our starting coral was in the sun though so we survived the 10 minute wait before the race start.


Bryn and I weren't over the moon at the thought of having to run four miles this morning.  We've both been slacking some so we were not looking forward to very hilly course.  And guess what?? It turned out to be a pretty great run.  We stayed strong going up the hills with "knees, knees, knees" as a mantra in our heads.


Even though it was freezing outside the sunshine helped a lot.  I had just enough juice at the finish line to make a strong finish after topping the last hill.  My final time was 50:02.  Missed it by two seconds!! Drat!  Ah well.

Another race done!  And I'm going to use it as a great start to my next round of half marathon training.  With the time change giving me more daylight after work I now have no excuses for skipping runs!!
