I ran a nice, decent workout somewhere around 7 minute pace. It felt good, I am excited for the Cottonwood heights thanksgiving 5k tomorrow. My goal is to run in the top 5, but it all depends on who shows up. It will be fun!

I didn't prepare that carefully for this race, I didn't have breakfeast and I really only walked a few miles yesterday. I got to the race 15 minutes before it started and started warming up, I felt pretty good by the time it started. I got out well, I took the lead and was just waiting to see who challenged the pace. About a half mile in, this ex college runner took off and Jared Croft of Hillcrest followed him, Dakota of East did as well. I stayed right behind the guy from East for another mile when Clayton Kearl from BYU Hawaii cought up to me, him and the Dakota picked it up and I stayed within 100 meters. Clayton and Dakota started kicking but I wasn't sure how far we had so I held back until we had roughly 400-600 meters and I started kicking really hard. I had way to much left in the tank, but I was too far away from Dakota to catch him. I should have started my kick 200-400 meters earlier, well really I should have just stayed with Clayton for longer. But I ended up getting 5th and meeting some interesting people! It was a good fun Thanksgiving 5k.
