IRC (Interurban Runners Club). Auburn. WA. 6:30 p.m. This was a small race put on by this club that runs on the Interurban trail. I heard about it through the Cedar River runners. Lisa and Denali came out to meet me and run the race as well! Denali did so well in the Bob as Lisa pushed! Go mom!!! It was a nice sunnny evening after work. It actually got a little hot. Wore black capris and sleeveless shirt. Felt pretty good today. I only ate a nutragrain bar after work and some water. The route was just out and back, paved, all flat. This is a certified course. There were only 36 runners but it made it nice and low key. Lisa had a lot of fun too! I met up with the Cedar River Runners some and we got a picture together. I talked to Tony and Dean mainly. It was great to see them there because it had been awhile since I had seen them! They all did well of course. There was a young girl I couldn't catch up to but was in front of me the whole day; I could always see her. Then Mary from Cedar Runners came in first out of the ladies; I think only 2 ladies were in front of me. Felt pretty happy with how I did for not trainning but a couple fast runs before hand. However, I did start ouf fast again and couldn't hold that pace. My L knee hurt a little bit, not IT but more below the knee cap. I am guessing just because of the fast constant pounding on pavement. Good course though. There is a series of 3 runs including this one so I am going to try and run the next one in July! Fun! That was my brother's bday so I will try to run it in honor of him and get a good time!
