I did my Monday golf course loop and things did feel good. Nice weather and lots of sunshine. I tried out my new Brooks Cascaidia trail shoes, I think this will be a good shoe for me seems to have a very sweet ride. I will be running the Spectrum 10k this sat. in St. George and the following sat I will do my first ultra, 50k up to Antelope Island.

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.
