Today I ran the 25k and set a new PR for this distance by 22:51. The weather forecast looked pretty bleak, but the conditions turned out to be perfect. I had planned to run the 50k, but realized I should just focus on the 25k. I love running on Antelope Island and this race is so well organized. I saw so many racing friends and had a great time. I need to get out and do more long runs to prepare for Ogden Marathon and Logan Peak.

Great job on the PR!!! I was looking for you and a couple other people at the fence near the finish line, but didn't see anyone.
