| The meeting I was at had about 9000 people. Maybe 200-300 showed up for the early AM 5K. To my surprise there were a few good runners. My plan going into the race was to hit somewhere between 17:00-:30, so overall I was happy with my performance. Concidering the lack of sleep the night before and the overall stressful week I could have not asked for a better time. My sleeps were not even. I got carried out by the lead pack (5:15), when I saw that split I dropped back and hit 5:42 and 5:52. The course was along the lake front past the aquarium. It was an out and back with a head wind on the way back. |

Good run along the lake front at sunrise. It is trully beautiful to see the wonder of God with the sun rising over the lake on your one side and the inginuity of man on the other side looking at such a magnificant city.

| After a week of work and no sleep I decided to not go into work this morning. After I woke up I decided I needed a break so I went back to sleep until 7am, then headed for the mountains. I started up dry creek as is my usual run from campus. Then when I got to my usual turnaround I decided to head all the way to the top of black mountain. I made it there and back. My Garmin read 7812ft from 4878ft, that is my largest elevation change in a run. The last half mile up (total mile 20 min) I had to walk and my first mile down I also had to walk (24 min). It was amazing looking around at the salt lake and the city from the summit. A well deserved break. Avg. 12:16 |
