Snow Canyon 5K - November 6th, 2011

 At the start line

 Just past 1 mile

 Turning into the stadium

 My time was 34:02

I ran the Snow Canyon 5K for the second time. I was trying to beat my time of 34:00 minutes. If I hadn't of stopped to hand my gloves to Doug on the last stretch of the race, I would have made it. I came in a  few seconds over. It was a very cold morning. It poured all during the night, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to go. I hate running in the wet and the wind, but it quit, so I went. I raced alone (no family this time) because Stephanie and her friend ran the Half Marathon, so they stared before me, and ended after. I just listened to my music, and kept a steady pace. My shins hurt for the first mile or so, and then I didn't notice it. I had just gotten some steroid injections in them the week before, but it didn't seem to help. They were really bad the next few days, so the Dr.did the injections again. Nothing is working, so I can only really run about once or twice a week, and then rest in between and then go again. I love running and so I don't want to stop. I just wish I could keep up with my running partners, so I had someone to go with.
