Met up with Dave, Riley, Albert and Jonny Boy at Lees Market in North Ogden. Guys were nice enough to head north because my wife had to work early so I had to get back.

Run was pretty casual the entire time. The last 5 miles or so we picked up the pace I got three miles in around 6:18 to 6:00 min/pace and had to slow up. I have developed a morning cold I wake up and have no voice and for the entire run I was either spitting mucous or farmer blowing it out, breathing was just way off today. Hoefully it will be gone next weekend so I can have a good race down south.

avg pace was 7:01 min/miles

P.M

Did the glow in the Dark 5K with my entire family. Race was way fun and chilled. I had no goal in mind since 2 miles of the run is on the trail and this was the race last year that I hurt my knee on so I was being was cautious. Race started and the first .90 is all down then it jumps straight to the trail. Plan was to run the road hard get the gap I needed before the trail and then slow it way down. First mile was 5:10. I was watching my pace on the down hill and I was around 4:36 pace for majority of it so that was fun to see. Next two miles were chilled on the trails 5:40 and 5:46 last .10 was down hill finish and it was around 15 seconds or so. Fun race will do it again. Was impressed with my kids though. Both my 7 year old and 4 year old ran the entire race. Then I did almost a mile cool down with my 7 year old. It was a proud father moment. Shout outs to my wife, mom and dad and my Baby bro and his wife for all running as well. It was a Van Beekum affair.
