Ran around Sugarhouse Park Friday morning while volunteering for Frontier Conf meet. Course seemed a little slow, felt sluggish but enjoyed the aura of college running. 3
Sat - Always love this race as it is one of only 2 races I know with coffee at the end. Got a pretty good warm-up in and felt good about the race, chose not to run in racing flats since foot still bothering me, ran in my new Mizuno's that I've had for a week. Got out nice and easy on the grass to the left of the cars, then joined the group. Was running easy and wish I could find some running partners but no one seems to race my way, coming from behind. I thought I saw a good girl in orange that I could stick with, but passed her at about 3/4 mile, then hit the mile, which according to one split timer was 6:30, I was a little surprised at it being that slow, but not really, I was hoping for closer to 19 minutes, but knew I was feeling pretty good. I picked it up mentally (really just maintaining pace) and started to pass patrons, including a group of 4 guys with a lead runner who was breathing staccotically and stuck with me for a little bit. On the seconde lap I was starting to feel fatigued but looking back I don't feel I really pushed all that hard. I was trying to catch a young runner and a peer who surprisingly stopped with 3/4 mile to go, I patted him on the back. When we hit the start point my young friend took off down the road, which was probably what the course now was, a change, while I yelled at him and kept on the trail. So I added about 25 yards but would have caught up to him, and to the peer who had surprisingly latched back on. I caught the back of them and it was just as well that I didn't sprint with them as I had reasons for pulling off. Cooled down a little, can't be to disappointed as I'm maintaining shape, just not advancing it. Really need to heal my foot. 5.5
