I did it!  Very nice time, made a friend and mostly jogged/walked with her.  If my heart rate got below 130, we would jog a bit.  Bad blister on my right foot, 2nd toe.  Odd spot, but no biggie.  No shin splints after the 1st mostly uphill mile.

Steamboat Springs is just gorgeous. I gather it’s even more lush than usual with all the rain this year. The route went through some very green areas with horses and goats, etc. The elementary and middle schools were incredible - obviously a wealthy town.  In town was very well-kept and nearly every yard has beautiful gardens.

I did feel good crossing the finish, though I was too fast, and my kids missed that part.  When I saw the clock and realized I could break 1:45, I jogged the last half-block or so. My knees don’t even hurt - we’ll see how they do tonight.  My HR monitor says I burned 888 cals, as if that even matters today!  LOL. Avg heart rate 137.  DH even told me he was proud of me, though you wouldn’t have known it at 6:30 this am when I was getting ready to leave the trailer. DD was stirring and he wanted me outta here so maybe she would go back to sleep.  LOL.
