From singing an off-key version of Smile Like You Mean It by the Killers at the start, to flashing Kiera and Lisa as we compared sports bras and I had to eat my words about never wearing a champion sports bra (LOVE it), to warning Lisa that when Kiera says, "it's all downhill from here," she doesn't really mean it (we compromised on "It's all gently undulating from here), to the double-shot espresso clif shot supplying me seemingly endless energy, to contemplating tacking on an additional mile to run 6 in honor of the Miwok 100k runners out there running 60 miles today (as if my wearing Olga's old Miwok shirt wasn't enough in honor of those hardy folks), to guzzling a dark chocolate godiva mocha afterwards while resting my tired feet on the cool tile floor at Kiera's house, to doing yoga poses with three children climbing all over me and then mimicking me....this was a great run. I loved it. It was fast, furious, beautiful. I ran the uphills, I felt great. Kiera did awesome - Lisa and I joined her for the second half of her scheduled 10-miler, and at the end, she was still flying (I couldn't keep up!).

Lisa invited me to join her and a few friends running some trails on Monday morning - I am very much looking forward to that.

To clarify about that 10k - it's tomorrow, not today. Paki dropped off my packet today; the shirt is in a woman's size and looks v. comfy and cute - yay! A cotton race shirt I might actually wear! I'm trying to take care of myself today to ensure a somewhat okay performance tomorrow. No matter what I run, it will be a PR, since I haven't officially done a 10k before :)
