Nice long run today, had a head wind for the first 8 miles. From there it was at my back the rest of the way. The hill repeats each week are starting to help out with my leg strength, they did feel stronger today and lasted well through out the run.

I really like this course very much, not only for the run but for the beauty of Snow Canyon. Nice weather this year very comfy temps with a slight tail wind. The first 3 miles of this course is steep downhill, you can't help but let the old ponies run. My mile splits are as follows.

Mile 1. 7:41

        2. 8:02

        3. 7:44

        4. 8:09

        5. 8:27

 I had a blast very nice weekend, it was nice to run this race with my Son Bryan and my Brother Clay. Next weekend I have my first Ultra a 50k on Antelope Island, should be a great time. I thought that perhaps this was one of my better times, my mistake I have had faster 10ks. I'm getting old I quess.

One of the craziest things I have done in my life. This was every bit as hard physically and mentally.This consisted of two 16 mile loops that went around the south part of the island. Lots of very steep uphill dirt road and single track trail. I did this with my son Bryan which made this one of the special high lights of my life. I will give a more detailed update later, this was a blast and may put this on my schedule for next year as well.

Today the old legs did feel better than they have for a few days, I decided that they needed to be tested out to see if any damage from sat 32 miler. I took things easy and surprisingly they did well. Tired still but I do think they weathered things well.

I have been excited the past few for this mornings long run, I knew the weather was going ton be one of the nicer Saturdays that we have had foe a while.It was perfect running conditions, I headed out the the door just past 6 am and the temps were in the middle forties, perfect as it just warmed up from there. I wanted to see how well my legs would respond from last sat ultra 32 miler. They did well as this was a real surprise to me. I thought for sure they would act as rebellious teenagers, they did well going up over harry's and up woodland hills road. Coming back to gu corner I was at my 13 mile mark and decided to throw in a golf course loop. All in all  it was a wonderful long run and I am excited for this year, we will see if the running Gods will be in my favor. Happy Easter.
