Monthly Workouts (February 2022)
March 7, 2022Protected: Six Things Sunday (a day late!)
March 14, 2022Last minute, I decided to run the Hot Dash 10 miler. I woke up early and headed down to the river where the race started. When I got there I jogged over to registration, it was pretty cold so it was sort of a bummer to have to wait for their computers to work. I got signed up and then headed off to get some miles in since I need to get 13 miles in a day.
When I was heading back to the start, I caught up with some old Club Run friends and chatted with them a little bit. It was really fun to talk to them. I then ran into my Moms on the Run friends and we jogged over to the start. I ran all of it with one of my friends. We had so much fun just chatting the whole time and being annoying. When we would run uphill, she would call it downhill and people looked at us like we were crazy. At mile eight, Joel was there with the kids. Hailey saw me and came running open armed to me and gave me a giant hug. I can’t even explain how amazing that felt to see her!
We walked a couple of those big hills towards the end and she made me completely flat out sprint to the finish line. My body did not like that. After the race I met up with Joel and the kids to eat at Edina Grill. It was a great meal and I was so thankful that they came out to support me.
