Played basketball for an hour this morning, then did a 6 mile run over to Hurricane High School and back via the City Park (for water). Now heading to Vegas to trade in the Explorer for a Mini Van. Well, we didn't make it to Vegas maybe tomorrow. Anyway, with the nice cool temperatures tonight I decided to do a short tempo run. I wanted to a little speed early in the week and then run easy miles until the 10K race on Friday. I decided to do the 2 mile tempo I've done in the past warming up by running to the substation by Hurricane Middle and then pushing it hard back which is mostly downhill for two miles. My best time so far for this tempo has been 5:21, 5:31 so 10:52. I was interested to see if I would be anywhere close to that tonight. Sorry to report no PR tonight, a little headwind and stomach issues. Pretty strange I almost threw-up just doing the warm-up. 1-5:27 decent mile, but I thought I was going faster. It was funny a little kid on bike tried to keep up with me for a minute, then asked why you going so fast. Didn't really have a good response, so I just kept running. I thought is was funny and it reminded me of Will Farrell in Talladaga Nights when he says "I'm going fast again" 2-5:34 Had to negotiate a few cars crossing the main highway. I really felt pretty good once I got across the bridge and was coming back into La Verkin got into a good rhythm the last .5 Overall 11:01 (5:30) Not my fastest but still a nice little workout. 1 mile easy cool-down
