Another nice day of great running weather with temps in the mid 50's. I ran around the river bottomsand the legs were feeling good today for a change. So I pushed the pace a little bit and was able to have good rythum throughout the run. I also put 25min in on the bowflex, upper body and finished with some crunches.

I had to go into work for a while this mrn, and then there was a baptism that I wanted to attend. Needless to say I only had time for a short run today, I was really wanting to do at least 15. So I don't know how ready I am going to be for the St. George Half in a few weeks. Oh well just go and do my best.

Today I ran out past mini gu corner and back, I think running in the snow on the river trail yesterday made my legs on the whck side today. it was still a good run though. I did some crunches and leg lifts after the run.

Nice race for me not my best half time or my worst, another tweener. I did feel surprisenly good throught the whole run today. I was in better shape than I thought. The first seven were all uphill, I think I ran a bit to conservative should have pushed a little harder. My mile splits are as follows.

Mile 1. 9:11

        2. 8:58

        3. 8:50

        4. 8:57

        5. 9:08

        6. 9:23

        7. 9:11

        8. 8:33

        9. 8:54

       10. 8:41

       11. 8:54

       12. 8:22

       13. 7:57

So one runners series race down and will do the spectrum 10k in march.
