Went down to Draper on Friday and slept out Spencer Simpson house. Good fun talking and catching up. Didnt go to bed til 1 am. But slept solid til the alarm went off in the morning. Warmed up for 2.80 miles with some strides. Talked to Riley earlier about a race plan for myself, my goal was to go under 17:00. He told me to go around 5:25 the first mile the second around 5:15 and then give it everything the last mile. So that was the plan Race started and stayed back and focused on the garmin for the first little bit just to gather my pace. First mile was 5:29.70, so a little slower then expected. Second mile was 5:16.27 so almost right on then the third mile was 5:33.17, the last .11 was :36.34 around 5:15 pace. Race felt good, right now I am focusing on gathering my bearings. Having that 7 month injury with no running really took alot out of me but things are coming around SLOWLY! which is fine I dont want any set backs at all. So today was a good race plan that was executed and will improve from here. After the race I cooled down with Riley, Bryant, Spencer, Scott and Jake. I got in 7.60 miles for a cooldown. P.M Spencer came up for a good friendly BBQ at Bret's house. After dinner Spenc and I met up with Jon from Lee's Market and did 4.16 miles around 7:05 avg. After the run we soaked our legs in the Creek by the Market. Good solid day of Running! Total Mileage-17.67 |
