Today's race was a great confindence builder for me. I actually felt good the whole race got after it and competed. The course was flat and a little long, I think I would've broken 39 minutes had the course not measured long. But still a great race for me. My second PR in 8 days. (different distances of course) The last time I ran a 10K was back in 2011 at South Weber days I think I ran 42 something. But today the temperature was good, a little windy and rainy but not to terrible. There was one girl ahead of me at the start of the race but I focused and kept slowly reeling her in. I passed her up at mile 4 and put a gap on her. I'm not gonna lie, it felt a little good to do that. I'm usually the one people are blowing by at the end of a race. Short cool down for me today with Andrea and Jake. Today's race was doubly awesome because Riley won the marathon! He looked so relaxed coming in I thought he was finishing a half marathon rather then a full. I'm so proud of him! Also, my mom, aunts, cousins, and in laws were at the race cheering us on so it was good day for us! Now we're in a hotel in Las Vegas ready to head home tomorrow. Here's my splits for today, 6:14, 6:13, 6:17, 6:17, 6:05, 6:02, .36 2:00.
