Beat Beethoven 5k

Melody (22:35), Dad, Mom, Amber, Drew, and friends: Mittons, McCall Johnson, Tori Spainhower, Ashley and Makayla Pitcher

They switched it up and held this race in May rather than the usual September. (It is part of a new Pleasant Grove "race series.") The turnout wasn't as great as in past years, and neither was the organization. But I was just glad to run a race and see how I feel in my new shoes. Excellent! I feel like the form is coming more naturally to me lately and I have more confidence running in these 3mm drop shoes for the half marathon in July.

It was a little windy and rainy, but that turned out to be nice conditions for this run. I placed 2nd women overall. It was fun to run with all the Cross Country boys who had a faithful traveling cheer-van! I missed Jonny (out of town with the YM) and the kids (playing with the Pecks) but it was so nice to get out and run fast.
