TRI GUY

Ran up to the rec center and back.

AM-6 miles this morning out to the summit and back.

PM- 8 tonight up in Pine Valley

I was going to go on a group bike ride today but I ended up sleeping in. So I ran 10 miles out in the fields.

Ran the river loop. From the Washington bridge over to River road and back past the summit.

AM- Nice run up to the top of Snow Canyon West rim road and back.

PM- 6 mile run up in Pine Valley tonight. Ran the Lions lodge loop.

Hamburger and pie right before I ran lowered the distance and pace but it was still a good run up through the campground.

Easy run out in the fields. Fireworks from the baseball game in the distance.

This was my second year running this race. The goal going in was to break 1:30 here's how I did:

1-6:23

2-6:46

3-5:44 held 5:30 pace for about 1-1/2 mile stretch here. Probably a little fast but it was fun.

4-6:12

5-6:33

6-6:26

7-6:55 this is where I had to really start working to keep the pace up

8-7:06

9-8:04 had to slow down because I really needed a porta potty break

10-8:17 slower mile because I took that porta potty break

11-6:56

12-7:08

13-7:24 should have been able to break 1:30 but ended up walking a killer side ache out. I know I'm weak.

.1-:29 (6:02 pace)

Exactly two minutes slower than last year but I had fun and the legs will confirm they got a good workout.

Easy 4 mile run out in the fields tonight. This was my first run since Bryce and the legs are still pretty sore. Not sure how they are going to feel by Friday.

This is a fun fast downhill 10K that I run every 24th. Baggs and I headed over from Pine Valley at 5:30. It was good to see some bloggers there this morning-Amber Dustin Bill Ryan and probably others. There was a difference between my official race time and my watch time so I went with the official time because it was faster. My real official time was 40:04. I followed tradition by jumping to an early lead go as fast as I can on the first 3 miles that are downhill and then hold on for the last flat miles. Bill and I hit mile 1 at 5:28. Amber passed me at mile 3 and then Ty caught me at mile 5 and pushed me to the end. I enjoyed this race like always but am really sore.

I ran 5 miles during lunch today. I guess that's what I get for sleeping in. Although 12 noon in Pine Valley still isn't all that bad.

Got out this morning at 5 with Jon for an easy 5 miles out in the Fields.
