June's home in Enumclaw. 6:30 a.m. It was rainning this morning. I carpooled with Mishel, along with Niki from Mishel's place. There it was Cheri, Janet, and Anna who joined the run from June's house. June just met up with us later. We left a change of clothes at June's house for after the run. We ran the route up the steep hill and back past the mountain. Then we paralleled the 164 on a back road. I ran with Anna the whole way until Starbucks, bad mistake! She is really really fast! We kept under 9 min which is do able for me but hard on long runs like this one. We just got talking a lot and got to know each other better. We learned a lot and talked about some deep issues, such as loosing a close family member. She is such a strong person and amazing athlete. She is like a white female Kenyan runner. We then met up with the ladies from starbucks but we over jumped the loop that went right to starbucks and on the bike trail the ladies were already coming for us. It was Sunny and June who joined in. Then we did our usual route. The last 2-3 miles I really dropped back in place and felt so tired like I wanted to walk. We did talk some I know. The time wiht 10:00 min is the one we walked for sure. Near the end I ran with Cheri and she helped me mentally to keep on going. Mishel ran up with Nikki and Anna. Tough run but boy was it good! We got to all eat at the Kettle in Enumclaw to celebate Cheri's bday. What a huge portion they give! There was no way I could eat all of it! How funny! You even get a tshirt if you eat all of it!, Something to work towards!
