Race: Deseret News 10K (6.2 Miles) 00:01:09

DeseretNews 10K. 

Time: 1:09, just over 11 minutes per mile. I'm really happy with that time, even though I didn't achieve my 10K goal. It is about a 10 minute improvement over last year. Yeah! So in an attempt to avoid complacency I will say that cutting 10 more minutes off for next year should be easily within reach.

 I ran with 3 friends from work: Ben, Smeagol and Steve. They all liked the race and seemed to be looking forward to running it again next year. I saw Christina and a couple of her running friends Jodi and Char (sp?) They also seemed happy with their times.

DesNews 10K is a great race. Good treats at the end and so fun to watch the Marathoners come in. Running conditions were much better than last year (less humidity).

Congrats on running a great race! 10 minutes is a huge difference, no doubt you will continue to drop your times.

Thats a great improvement! Good job! I'm really glad the weather was better this year! You didn't even need the first aid tent! Just kidding!

I didn't need the first aid tent but I must have appeared near death as medical people kept trying to give me assistance. "No. I don't need oxygen. No. I don't need a stretcher. No I don't need fluids". Nobutseriously, a race official actually asked me if I needed a medic. I was limping pretty hard, but I have since mostly recovered. [HAPPY ENDING]

Good recovery! You deserve a 1/4 of a chubby melt for your efforts!

Chubby melt feast is a done deal! But not until after the Provo 1/2.

Thanks for cheering me on during the last block, BTW. Distraction from pain is always appreciated.

Beautiful race, beautiful job. I want to do it again! I'm going to smash apart an hour next year, wanna join me?

This chubby melt better not disappoint me. I'm getting hungry.

Maybe for the 1/2 marathon you could bring your super hero sheep dog
