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.

Really awesome race and victory! I love those last two splits. I am really proud of you and can't wait to see how much more you can continue to improve.

Thanks again for taking more than your fair share of the work with the kids this weekend to enable me to race the marathon well and recover. You're the best!
