Morning run, temp 50'

Nice morning for a run.  Very pleased with the way my legs fell.  They finally feel like they are ready for more punishment.

Morning run, no wind, temp 50'

Great morning for a tempo 3 mile run.  I wanted to average 6:15's and I was hoping I'd go even faster.  I need to get use to regular tempo runs because I had a hard time getting into running fast.  Maybe it's stress at work.  Anyway the 1st two miles are slightly down and the last mile makes up for the down.  I got a 6:12, 6:06, 6:26 for an average of 6:15.

Still a little bummed out that I didn't make St. George.

There were about 50-75 people that showed up for the stake run.  I was feeling confident until a runner I haven't seen before arrived looking fast.  Come to find out he is going to BYU and his parents live in our stake.  He was tan, thin, and had a smooth stride.  I knew my only hope of beating him was if he was out of shape. 

The race started and I stayed behind speedy for about a half a mile then I decided to let him go.  My first mile was 5:50.  The second mile has a big hill that is about 150 yards long but also on the second mile you come down the same hill just a block over.  At the half way point speedy was 10 seconds ahead of me.  I ran the second mile in 6:10.  The last 3/4 mile is slighlty up hill.  I kept having thoughts of digging deep and trying to catch up to him but I figured he'd just pull away when he heard me coming.  What a wimp I am.  Anyway the 3rd mile was in 5:56.  I finished in 18:21 about 11 seconds behind the winner.   My kids Tanner (17) finished 4th with about a 21:00 and Dalls (11) finished 8th in 25:17, and Cambrey (14) finished in 32:42.  We don't encourage Cambrey to push to hard because she has a brain aneurysm.

If I want to do better in 5K's I need to get metally tougher and let myself feel a little more pain.  I figure a good start to getting metally tougher and getting use to running faster would be to do some 400 repeats.  I don't know if I'll do it but I think it would help my 5K times.

After the race I went over to my Dad's and helped him shingle his roof for 4 hours.  My legs hurt the whole time.  Ouch!
