Nice job Ben, we should race this year I think it would be a good matchup.

Way to go Ben...! I was thinking like fiddy, that we should race too.. Then I looked at your running times and decided I should train a while longer before challenging you :-)

Hey thanks guys!! Tough 5k, not only is the course a little long, it also has a couple brutal climbs. Normally I finish around 16 flat. But this race times are always about a minute slower.

Nice job Ben!!! Hey, do you have the name of the massage therapist you were telling me about at Wasatch Back? I have been using the K tape and it works great, but some deep massage would help too!
