5:37 for 31.6 miles ~ Perfect weather & a perfect race! I ran it picture perfect. ~ Plenty of prayer and many great answers. My goal was to run my race and have a consistant pace. Success. I ran certain hill climbs that I had walked last year. The firelane road out of Extendo, the climb up to Dimple Hill and from the last AS to the finish ~ ran them all without walking! That was an accomplishment to be proud of! My husand and kids cheered me on and crewed me at each AS except Dimple Hill. They made their mother proud! Even my oldest daughter & her husband showed up w/ my adorable "grandson"! A great turnout ~ all for me! It was a nice feeling to have support.
I finished strong and am looking forward to Bighorn 100 ~ it's going to be the same game plan. Run my race ~ stay focused ~ Let the mind "dance"!
The next few weeks are some great training! Look for more after Bighorn.
Gary is crewing me and I'm running without a pacer! This should get exciting! 8 hours of night running "alone"!! Jeff Browning's quote ~ "You don't need no stink'in pacer" ~ that was just what I needed to hear.

Awesome running! You are getting stronger each week--can't wait to see what you do at Bighorn!
Great job, Cheri! I enjoyed chatting with you also afterward. Stay focused for the next few weeks and then go get 'em at Bighorn. I love your bravery to go without a pacer!
Hi Cheri, I am running Bighorn too and without a pacer also!! Maybe our paths will cross out there in the wild. See you soon!
