| Taper week!!

Met with Ken, Riley, Jon and Denver from the pond. Headed out towards Harrisville then jumped to the east bench and hit the parkway on the way back.
avg pace 7:14 min/miles

| Met at the 21st pond with Riley, Ken, Jon, Dave and Bret. Ran up to the Ogden Canyon on the Parkway. Coming back down each of us proceeded to do 2 miles at our goal race pace for Saturday. I went out a little quick but felt really good, hit 5:08; 5:07 split for 2 mile.
Hoping legs will feel this good on the parkway on Saturday. Mentally I just need to know that its less than 2 miles then the course flattens out again. Parkway has owned me in the past but not this year. Excited for Saturday.

Race
Running isnt complicated. You train and build a base and make deposits over a training period and on race day you make a huge withdrawel and push your body to the limit for that day. Recover and do it again.
Went into the Ogden Half with some high hopes of running a sub 1:09 and to get as close to my time as last year. Even though we had a major flaw in the weather with the nasty rain and headwind I saw that as no excuse and still went for it.
This pretty much sums up the race right here. I set the pace for the first mile of 5:22. Ken came with me and took the lead on the 2nd mile with 5:28 with a good solid climb. I took over mile 3 with 5:18 and never looked back. Kept pushing the pace and built a solid lead over the next 10 miles. Going into the last mile body shut down and could go no faster than 5:30 pace. Ken came charging back and beat me by 2 seconds.
Happy for Ken for the win, he ran well and ran a smart race. Pretty ticked with my effort and the way I closed the last mile. This will be the last time I talk about this race, hopefully I can approve and finish strong in my next race whenever that will be.
