workout went farely well had to stop after the 3rd repeat to hit  the bathroom, stomach gets sensitive to the hot weather. Legs are feeling good and ready to hit a hard 5k this weekend.

Good night run!! Temperature was good, with a good down poor about 6 miles into the run!! Soaked!!! But it felt awesome.

TRACK WORKOUT

So I went up to Weber High to do some 200 meter repeats to get some turnover before my race on Saturday. Legs felt good hopefully I can break 16:00!!

2.60 mile warmup and cooldown

6 X 200 @ 32-33 pace w/ 200 meter jog for recovery

Total Distance- 6.80 miles

Alright so I ran 30 minutes this morning, I usually don't taper or cut back for a 5k. But, the Gerald Anderson is probably one of the most competitive 5k's that I have ever competed in. Usually top 3 will be under 16:00 or close to it. All the top highschool runners from Davis county will be there(talking sub 10:00 2 milers) also not to mention you have the likes of Lindsey Anderson that will race(2008 steeplechase Olympian) so to make a story short. I want to feel completely ready to go, and feel like I am not 100% to race.

Avg Pace this morning- 6:47 min/mile

Drove up to Morgan to run the Gerald Anderson Memorial 5k. Like always great race, awesome Adidas Tech Shirts. Great flat course. I guess the only thing that could have been better was the weather. Windy and Rainy.

So officially my first 5k of the year, the goal was to break 16 minutes and was way close.

Race Splits.

1- 5:03

2- 5:05

3- 5:19

.12 -:35 seconds

So overall felt good, wish the last mile was around 5:10 but I think that will come as I get more comfortable with short faster distance.

I was with the overall winner til' the third mile then he kicked on me, I have neer seen a kick that fast before. He finished at 15:57. Later found out that he is running at BYU. Very nice kid. I wish him the best of luck in his College Career!! Wish I would've remembered his name.
