Not my best race today, but considering I had a 6 wk layoff with one month of crash training I'll take it. I ran with the Jon pace club for 17 miles and enjoyed every minute of it. I knew it was probably not going to be a PR magical day so I relaxed and listened to everyone banter and wisecrack all the way down the course.  As the 17 mile marker loomed into view I seperated from the pace group and did my own thing. Adam stayed with me for awhile and ran tough but he developed a side stitch and dropped off.  Put it into overdrive and cruised home at a fairly even 6-6:10/mi. effort.

Sasha did extremely well today with a 2:28 run! Frankly I'm a little envious. And then there was Hobie... Oh my what a run. Rocketing in at 2:16!  Overall one of those days when you look at that like a magicians trick and say, How in the heck did he do that? Congratulations to Hobie Call  who is now quite possibly World Class stuff.

Great race, Steve. Busting out that kind of time on the "crash training" is outstanding.

From Jon on Sat, Sep 15, 2007 at 19:52:44

Good job- you'll do great at SGM. I enjoyed meeting you and running with you today.

From James on Sat, Sep 15, 2007 at 20:10:18

Nice job today! You are coming back very well.

From Cody on Sat, Sep 15, 2007 at 20:33:46

I was nice chatting with you this morning pre-race! I can tell you are coming back into top form quickly. 5th place is not bad for your crash training. Where do I sign up? Lets get together for some runs when I am in SLC again.

Good job today Steve. It was fun watching you run from behind, because you look effortless when you run. It's a good stride, and it will carry you far.

Good run Steve, hopefully you will be ready to roll even faster at St. George.

From Brent on Sun, Sep 16, 2007 at 11:19:44

Great run, I remember your comments on the parkway, you would feel great if under 3:40. Way to go. It really says something about how fit you really are.
