Morning on TM

Busy day so I thought I'd at least get one mile on the TM to wake me up.

Morning run in Henderson, NV.

Ran up to the foothills and back down on my way down I turned off my watch at a stop light and didn't get it back on.

Probably about 7:35 mile avg.

I must have been eating way to much junk over the past few days because the hills on the TM wiped me out.

I got the first 5 miles in with just a few sprinkles then the rain came down and I wasn't dress properly for getting soaked running into the wind and rain.  I was glad to get inside and get a hot shower.

Light rain for the 1st half of the run then it finally quit.  Wet socks for the last 10 miles.  Ran around daybreak then a couple laps around the daybreak lake then home.

Nice day for a run.  My legs still arn't 100% recovered from last weeks harder workouts so I took it easy today.  I should be ready for a fun SLC half Saturday.

Yea, no running until Saturdays half, just eating out for my birthday tonight and for lunch tomorrow.  Probably not the best pre-race meal plan.

Race: SLC Half (13.1 Miles) 01:24:12, Place overall: 22, Place in age division: 4

SLC Half.  Start time 7AM, temp. 54 at start. 

8 other neighbors arrived at my home at 5:30 and we headed to Gateway to park and then take Trax to the stating line.  Unfortunatley we arrived only 12 minutes before the race.  The bathroom lines were incredibly long and I felt like a #2 stop would be a good thing but no time.  Luckily this didn't effect my race, but I did head straight to the porta pottys after the race.  This course was just slightly different than 4 years ago but overall about the same elevation flow.  My goal was to get 6:30 miles or better. 

I felt good the entire race, getting tired but not slowing down near the end.  The last half mile my legs were getting tight thinking about cramping.  If I would have had a mile or two to go I'd of had to slow down, so I think I pushed just the proper amount.

My legs are still a little sore from the Half Saturday, but it was so nice out that I couldn't help getting out and running some easy miles.

Love those warm temps for an April morning run.  Donated blood Monday, hopefully, it won't slow me down much then next week or so.

Great morning for a run, low wind and only had the sun for the last half of the run.  The 8 minute man had me by 2:30 at the half way point but it was all down hill from there.

I thought after being released yesterday from the Bishopric my burdens would be lighter and I'd run faster but it sure didn't feel that way on todays run.
