Interurban Trail off of W. Main St. in Auburn. 6:30 p.m. My 2nd series race from IRC. It was just a small group again but a fun run. There were less people than the last run but it was still a lot of fun. I would say there were only about 15 runners. I had a goal this time to beat my PR from last race and also it was for my brother whose bday was July 13, he would have been 31 years old. Happy with my results! Lisa was there again with her little girl. I also saw some of the Cedar River runners. Dean was there again but running barefoot! Craziness! Lisa and I also met some nice girls who run from Sqoreboard (sp?) in Federal Way on Thursday eve. They were both in my age division. Same course, out and back on flat asphault. I felt I did well except about the last mile I started to get a little nauseas. I had eaten at Athens resturant a veggie grinder for lunch, bad idea! It is a very heavy type sandwich. So I held it together and didn't loose it luckily but it hurt the last 100 yards. So glad to be done! I pushed myself too and beat my last time!! So happy about that. Lisa and I both got blue ribbons! We got a picture again with the Cedar river runners! Fun stuff!

Weather: it was perfect! Rained just a little right before our run but had perfect weather during the run, sunny, with some clouds. Then after the award ceremony it started to pour. How lucky could we be! I saw a rainbow driving home! Thanks God for a nice run!

Way to go Anya! You rock! Look how speedy you are! I'm sad I wasn't there, but so glad you two are out getting faster and faster! We should pick a race to do together this fall?
