It wasn't the full 10K that we had originally planned to run, but 4.5 miles still felt like an accomplishment given the recent experience with the boot. Meagan and I ran 4.5 miles in 39:51, just over 9 minute miles. Running the Butte to Butte was my goal when I started running again in January after having Lucy, and the bursitis was especially annoying given that I had put all that pressure on myself... We crossed the finish and then walked (ok wobbled) to a nearby friends' house to drink mimosas and watch the rest of the race.
The rest of the family ran too! Joel and Milo pushed Lucy in the Bob, and Liam took off on his own, running with 5,000 of our neighbors to finish in 45:01. I met him at the finish and he looked fresh as a daisy. (Milo, poor guy, has inherited his mom's red face and dad's sweat glands - but he ran the whole way and had fun, which is all that matters.)

WOW. I had no idea. I don't think I will be able to catch up to you!
You do it all woman!!! You seriously rock!! I know I won't be anywhere near 9 minute miles (or 12 minute miles for that matter) by the time I see you, but I'll enjoy watching you run circles around me :)
