American fork turkey trot this morning... Goal today was to see if I could beat my time from the 5k on Saturday and if I had a fantastic race See how close I could get to sub 18.. Well I did it by the skin of my teeth! 17:59! And I showed it was officially 3.1 miles! (I haven't ran sub 18 since doing it on the track in college and that was only a 17:55) so I feel like I have finally had a breakthrough in the 5k..

Anyway, this course is really flat, but it is run in a shopping district so there were quite a few turns..first mile was 5:43, felt good besides the fact I was running side by side with a high school boy and instead of scooting over he made me run almost run into a garbage can. (It gave me a surge of adrenaline and I surged past him). Second mile was 5:51.. Felt great, at this point in the race a guy and me were running together with 2 high school cross country boys way ahead. The guy and I worked together and I tried to surge again with about .6 left in the race. He stayed close and passed me with .25 left. When I turned the corner and saw 17:43 on the clock I knew it would be close so I kicked it in as fast as I could to go 17:59... Last mile was 5:54 with the last .1 in 31 seconds. Really happy with the way things played out today and feel like I am actually starting to like 5ks now! (They have always been my nemesis.) Won a turkey! Happy thanksgiving!
