Here we go..

Sore legs, easy run. AP 8:10

Ran another easy day before leaving for Phoenix today. I'm excited to go down and watch Riley run the marathon and I decided to run the 10k. It should be fun, plus my mom will be coming too. 

I woke up in  Las Vegas this morning and did a workout I found a nice 1 mile loop around my hotel. Two mile warm up the plan was 6X1mile repeats at 6:10 pace. They felt pretty good for the most part, I felt like I had low on energy for the last two. I usually eat something for my workouts but I didn't get to this morning. 2:30 jog for rest. Splits were 6:11, 6:10, 6:07, 6:11, 6:13, 6:10. 

Easy run in Mesa beautiful weather today!

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.
