Great day for a race. about 40 degrees to start, a little windy, but it's Hurricane so what do you expect?
Jose went out pretty fast and me and a large group were behind him at about a 6:15 pace. I was shooting for holding that pace and was happy to have a group to run it with. By mile 1 most of them had dropped off however and it was Jose, then a guy named Jeff from spanish fork, then me. I was going about 6:10 pace and felt great so I started picking it up to about 6:05. By mile 2 I caught Jose and held the lead the rest of the race. Jeff caught Jose shortly after me and stayed steady behind me about 30 seconds or so.
I was so excited to get first and when I got to the finish line my three boys (4-1/2, 3, and 18 mos.) were all yelling "Go Daddy, Go Daddy!" and then the spectators joined in yelling "Go Daddy!" as well. It was great.
I represented the Blog and SGRC well as I had one of the singlets on for the race. It was funny cause everyone else had sweats, tights, long sleeves, beanies, gloves, etc. because the weather said it was going to rain, maybe snow. Everyone at the starting line was saying "look at that guy, he must be freezing!"
PM: I am not going to count the home show homes I walked through, but "Daddy" had to carry a heavy little 3 year old through 6 or 7 houses today. That should count for something if you ask me!!!
Afterwards I took the car over to Fabulous Freddy's for a detail and ran to the running store and back while I was waiting. The store was already closed though... Good little 5 mile jog on red cliffs right during the crazy valentines day dinner rush though. Pretty busy out there but I made it through without a scratch!
