LAKE TO LAKE RELAY WITH THE GAHHHLLLS!!

I love this race!  I especially love relays.  There is nothing better than getting your run on and then jumping in a car of sweaty, chocolate milk drunken girls to spend the day with.  Lake to Lake is nice because its only 51 miles so we each have about 5-6 miles for 2 legs.  So not too bad.  My first leg felt great and I ran 6 miles at a 7.35 min mile pace so I was STOKED about that.  I was booking it and it was a lot of down hill, but still.  I was pleased to keep it under an 8 min mile.  The second leg was long and hard and I was pretty spent from my first leg, but luckily just as I was about to come up on this huge mountainous dirt road (probably a hill, but for my purposes....a huge mountain) and was almost completely deflated when Cordelle called me.  It was the perfect distraction.  I looked like I was talking to myself as I ran because I had my ear buds plugged into my phone, but I seriously couldn't have done it without that phone call.  So he must have been inspired to call!  Anyways, we had a great time as always.  Lots of laughs, gas, stretching, belching, and dinner at In-n-Out.  I know, great running food right?  Love these girls.

Me, Lisa Boshell, Lisa Haag, Tawna Marriott, and Krista Chamberlain

Krista made a friend on her first leg.

My famous stretch

Half our team had IT band problems so here is Lisa and Krista in their agony.

AT THE FINISH LINE!

The Sand Hollow picture snap.  We always take individual pictures by the lake when we are done.  I dont know why.  But its fun.

I don't remember what was so funny but I think this picture is a good sum of the day. I believe I was waiting for my turn to run at an exchange.  I sent this picture to Cordelle at work and they all made captions for it.  Here's the one I liked the best, "Hey look, this is the tiniest stethoscope in the world."
