I went and parked in the parking lot next to the zoo and did a 6 mile easy run on the Des news course from mile 16 to 20 and back up to the parking lot. I noticed some cones and saw they were running a 10 mile race. I ran with the Runamok runners up Emmigration canyon 8 miles where I saw the first place runner coming down. I then saw a few runners and then I saw Allie. I hurried and grabbed a drink and then told the runamoks I was going to try and run a race pace with them. I took off and it was fun, I was running a 5:05 first mile and still hadnt caught Allie. I got to their mile 3 and saw her and Chad. It took another half mile to catch them. I ran with Allie and Chad for the rest of their race. At about mile 6 I believe it was, Allie started pushing the pace or maybe it was me and I didnt realize it. She was really bookin' man! She has got some talent I will tell you! We passed a few runners and I could see the cop with his flashing lights and the overall runner was fading a bit. We were catching him but never got him. Ill bet if we had 3 more miles Allie would have won that race! I think she took 3rd overall and commanding 1st for women! Way to go Allie! Hope to see you at SLC half. I had a great 8 mile race paced tempo run onto my long run of 6 rolling, 8 uphill, and 8 downhill. Very fun to do that!

I keep checking to see if Allie's race report is up yet!!! Now I have the inside scoop!!

Yeah, she is AMAZING!!!! :)

(Nice run yourself!)

Yeah TM. Everytime I pushed, she stayed right up! She is a strong downhill runner!

From Carina on Sat, Apr 02, 2011 at 23:07:37 from 204.15.86.83

Must have been nice for her to have someone pushing her! Nice work today!!

From Walter on Sat, Apr 02, 2011 at 23:15:58 from 74.82.64.16

Carina, I'm glad I saw her. I wouldve just ran by myself next to those racing. I was amazed to see she could have a conversation and see how she was doing towards the end.

From Walter on Sun, Apr 03, 2011 at 16:45:12 from 24.10.169.110

Jeff, I really did have fun. What a great workout that was.

Allie, You have some serious talent my friend! I ran those 7 or so miles with you faster paced than I did by myself in the Riverton half last week.

Fast. Great run Walter.

From Lily on Sun, Apr 03, 2011 at 22:33:01 from 67.199.178.210

Allie is the BEST!

Walter, awesome out and back on Wasatch Drive and up and down Emigration! Nice pace down the Canyon (i.e., a great speed workout) and I cannot wait to get over my annoying injuries so I can run downhill with a little speed again; therefore, I'm totally envious of this workout. Keep it up!
