| Hello February! January was a just a nightmare that I want to forget! The worst we've had in years weather wise. Just brutal.
Workout
30 min warm; 5(7-1-1-3); 1 mile cool
7 minutes @ 5:18 pace; 1 min cool; 1 minute @ 4:56 pace; 3 min cool
Workout was tougher than 2 weeks ago. Adding the extra minute was a doozy. But managed to gut it out and I am better for it now. Really enjoying these workouts. Now hopefully February can be nice and allow for some outdoor workouts.

Legs were pretty beat this morning. Excited to cut back a little and race next weekend.

| Headed south for the weekend and since the weather in STG sucked I opted to wait to do my long run in Mesquite.
Workout was a progressive long run starting at 7 min pace then every 5 miles drop 30 seconds a mile with the last 3 miles fast but controlled.
Couple miles in I was already rolling sub 6:30 and by 5 miles I was already at 6 min/pace. So for basically 13 miles I was sub 6 or faster.
Felt really strong. Heading to Phoenix next weekend for a rust buster half marathon. I have no idea what type of shape I am in. So just going to go off of feel and use it to gage my "A" race in the spring. Mostly excited to watch some MLB spring baseball!

Race
Headed down to Phoenix with Ken and Riley to nail a rust buster race. Weather was ideal, 39 degrees with slight tailwind.
Headed to the start line and saw some local Utahns. Sasha, Benjamin, Mike Hardy. Then right before the race got going Ben Bruce came strolling up to the line. Which was pretty cool too actually meet him for a second.
Gun went off and a lot of guys shot out of the gait and found myself in 10th to 11th pace! I stayed pretty conservative and gradually built into the pace that I wanted to hit for the run. Mile 1 I came through around 5:14 which was right where I wanted to be. By mile 2 I caught Benjamin and he attached on to me for the mile. Around 3.5 he was still tucked behind me. So I turned and told him he is more than welcome to draft off of me but he better hop in front for a bit and return the favor for me. He took the lead for about a half mile and then faded and I didn't see him again.
Mile 5 Steve Chu from Colorado came up on me and we worked together until mile 8. He put in a little surge and I couldn't respond. Legs felt like they were getting tired so it seemed. Around mile 11 nothing really changed breathing and leg wise. I realized that I actually had some left in the tank. Closed the last 2 mile in a 5:19; 5:13. Came through the finish in 6th place; 1:09:43; 5:19 avg/mile.
I am happy with the effort since I really didn't know what shape I was in. Also nice to see a sub 1:10 on an honest flat course. Really excited to start hitting the concrete phase of Half training and to improve upon this time.
Congrats to Riley for hitting a PR. He is going to be a beast come April. Excited to see what he can do.
Splits for race- 5:14; 5:11; 5:13; 5:16; 5:19; 5:15; 5:24; 5:22; 5:18; 5:24; 5:28; 5:19; 5:13.
