DNR Fun Run. DNR = Department of Natural Resources. This is not a real race but a timed fun run put on at my work for employees. The results are pretty much a foregone conclusion. The fast guy wins (he mentioned that he used to run 15 minute 5 Ks w/in a bigger workout as part of his training). Dependent upon who is in the office and what side of a Marathon I'm on, I'm second or third. Today I was second. The fast guy ran with me for the first half and then left me behind. I did not go all out as St. George is only 9 days away. I felt good till about the 2nd mile mark and then slowed because I was suffering from an abdominal cramp of some sort. I do not cramp often and I'm not sure why I did, but no big deal..... Recovered and then ran the course again so as to get some more miles. I finished in 20:37. Splits- 6:16, 6:30, 6:44. Based on Sasha's race time predictor I think I can go under 3:10 at St. George, if all goes well.
