Woke up early to get out to South Weber to run there annual 5K and 10K. Drove to Riley's house and warmed up to the start line. Managed to get a little over 3 miles in with some strides. Race was good mostly flat with a good section of steep downhill with a flat finish that has the wind on your back coming out of the Weber Canyon.

First mile in the race was 5:02; second was 4:56; third 5:12. I came through the 5K at 15:38. But with the added distance my overall time was 16:03. We were talking at the end and we think that the course was marked for the 10K because the start and finish line were the exact same. But overall I was happy with the result. Took about a mile to get into a rhythm, felt a little Lagoon in me from yesterday.

After my race I jogged back a mile and ran with Riley to the finish. Mile was 4:56.

Cooled down for a little over 3 more miles. Solid morning and good win.
