Good race but tired from a late night shift so I'm not going to write too much on this report....  Went out with a young guy who is a 9:50 2 miler and I think one day will really be an awesome  runner as he had speed written all over him.  And so it goes then I got out out kicked at the end. LOL!  Strange thing was is that I felt relatively comfortable at mile 2 with a 10:21 split and he seemed like he was struggling a bit going up that last mile grade.  Must not have been too bad because he sprinted away from me in the last 200 meters or so.  Yikes! I'm getting old I guess because I just don't have that kind of speed any more, not to mention I could use some track work also.  Overall though I'm still pretty dang happy with the time as it was only 8 sec slower than the last time I ran it in 2007.

Not bad Steve! There's still a little pop left in those almost 40 legs. Will I still see you at Utah Valley?

Thanks Rob, as Paul says; Yup.

Great job Steve. That is an awesome time and place for not having any sleep.

Nice work as always Steve. You know I feel old as well at times. You still had a successful race and great run.

From jtshad on Sun, May 09, 2010 at 09:17:43 from 69.20.183.178

Nice work and great run. Keep it going strong. You haven't joined us old guys yet!

Great job, Steve. Sounds like your training is paying off.

From steve ash on Sun, May 09, 2010 at 19:46:18 from 174.52.96.106

Thanks guys, I am thankful for being able to still run pretty well I know I'm not old yet I just need to enjoy these years and not think like that I suppose. Seeing Dennis Simonaitis run of 14:45 at Carlsbad 5k has really inspired me to rethink things.

From Walter on Sun, May 09, 2010 at 19:49:02 from 24.10.169.110

I think your speed is great to hit 5:15 pace my friend! Those young ens are 3 mile runners and thats it! Running that speed Is where Id like to be right now. Great job!

From Sasha Pachev on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 11:18:48 from 192.168.1.1

Good speed. Are you coming to the Law Days 5 K?

From steve ash on Tue, May 11, 2010 at 22:26:50 from 174.52.96.106
