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!

From Maurine/Miles on Sun, May 09, 2010 at 12:40:04 from 97.117.66.119

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
