Sick kid in the morning so another no sleeper.  It was pretty warm once we got down to Salt Lake, I could tell warmimg up that I'd feel that.  The sick kid threw up twice in the car but everyone wanted to see the parade, so we stayed-good times. 

I was a little worried about running a real race again after these marathons so I had a bit of a hard time getting a pace.  First mile was 5:47, marathon pace, so I had to laugh..I picked it up a lot for that second mile simce I realized this was a 5k now, 5:02.  Then went straight at the park instead of turning right, but luckily one of the high school runners behind me yelled at me and I cut back through the park to rejoin the course.  don't think i lost too much time, but a few places.

My six year old daughter ran a kick butt race at the kids race after.  She was just grinning and said. "Dad, I looked back and I could see hundreds of kids I was beating!".  Love it!

 

Ran an easy 3 miler with the kids late evening

Still shooting for that elusive 1:10 half marathon.  Rob advised me on this course to run the first two miles at 5:10 pace and then see how the pace feels.  My 5k split was 16:18 which was about a 5:16 pace so a bit on the slow side.  My 10k split was 33:20 so I was adding a few seconds per mile, but I crossed the half point at 34:54 right behind Riley so I was right on pace.  I hadn't trained enough speed though and had to drop off more time, especially in the last two miles.  Pretty rolling course!
