I went down to do a workout at the gym and a friend asked me to run a trail race with her tonight.  I would just have to do a 5 mile leg so I said sure.

The race course ended up being backwards along the Bonneville shoreline trail from Smithfield and ending up old main hill, so it was a ridiculous course!  My relay partner decided not to run it so I signed up for the full 10 miles.  Three other guys showed up that had run TOU so I knew I'd be in similar company with the wobbly legs!  We headed out towards Green Canyon and the pace was pretty slow, probably all of us were hurting.  The fastest guys were on the relay teams since the prizes were Ipads.  I saw Patric Rotich there so the pace had to be around a 5 min mile.  They started them 5 minutes after us so I kept looking over my shoulder to see if he was catching me!  I got into the lead about a mile into it with Jesse Dunn right behind me.  He passed me going up the canyon and I was tired enough to not care.  As we got along the rolling hills of the trail I noticed that I was catching back up and my legs felt all right so I passed him around mile 4.  When we hit the trail along Canyon Road he passed me again and I was dead.  I think I dropped back to around a 7 min pace and just held on.  Another Utah State runner passed me going up Old Main Hill to the finish and it was over.  I was pretty stoked my legs held up after the marathon, but overall got my butt kicked.
