Overall, it was a good race for me.  I was hoping to run sub 1:25 today and I accomplished that goal.  Got up at 3:45 and headed down to Utah County.  Got up to the starting line around 5:15 or so after the bus ride.  Just before the start of the race, met Josh E and James, runmehappy, from the blog.  James wanted to run about the same time I did and Josh was going to pace him down the canyon before picking up the pace a little bit in the valley.  They were nice enough to let me tag along with them and it was fun to have someone the run with down the canyon.  They were planning on running around 6:10 pace down the canyon, a little faster than I had planned to but I figured it would be worth it to run a little faster to have someone to run with.  Race started and it was pretty quick down the canyon, but I felt pretty good down.  Even threw in a couple of sub-6:00 miles, which was faster than I had done in a race.  My shoelace did come undone about mile 1, so I had to stop and tie it which was more annoying than anything.  Got out of the canyon at about average pace of 6:06, much faster than I had planned but I felt good so I was happy.  Once in the valley it got a little tougher and pace slowed down.  The small rolling hills through the golf course were harder than expect.  Faded a little towards the end and finished up at 1:23:22.  This was a PR, obviously aided, for me so I was happy with the race.

 Ran 3 cool down miles afterwards and waited through the long awards ceremony.  It was good to meet some guys from the blog hanging around after the race.

13 easy miles around Holladay.  Fairly sore today so took it nice and slow.  Pushed my son in stroller for about 3 miles, average pace of only about 8:45.

Worked up in Park City today, so decided to take my stuff up their to run. Still sore today so I took it nice and easy again. Route was fairly hilly and going downhill was not very fun. 10 miles @ 8:18 pace.
