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 |
