Perry City Independence Day 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:28:57, Place in age division: 9 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Trainer 1 Miles | Trainer 2 Miles | Racer Miles | Total Distance | | 0.00 | 0.00 | 3.10 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 3.10 | 3.10 |
| PR'd the 5K distance by 9 seconds. Perfect morning for a race. The age group was 45-59, so I didn't do well in the AG placing (considering I'm 53). There was another 'grey-hair' in front of me, so I kept as close to him as I could. He was 40-60 feet ahead of me for the first 2-1/2 miles. I figured I could catch him on the 'hill'. By the top I was about 7 feet behind him. We turned the corner and with about 500 yards to the finish I was able to pass him and could tell by the sound of his footsteps that he was not trying to catch back up. It felt great to PR. My wife was at the finish line cheering me on so that was an added bonus. |

| 4:30am followed the 'Eagle Hike' trail. 1.6 miles to the summit, 1700 feet elevation gain. It felt great to blast down the trail back to camp. An hour later I went on a 6 mile hike with my wife and the girls. |

| Great time running the inaugural N.U.T.S. (Northern Utah Trail Series) Trail 1/2 Marathon. Before the start we had a bit of rain. I saw some friends, Ryan and Lindsey Lauck and Jim Skaggs. I told Cody Draper, the eventual winner, that Jon Allen said to tell him that I would be his pacer today and to line up in front of him at the start, but then I took my normal place at the back of the pack. Perfect weather for running. While on the trail I met more great running friends. The trail had a lot more elevation than I had anticipated, but the last few miles to the finish were all downhill, so that was appreciated. There were still four runners on the trail behind me when I finished, but after I came through the timing crew took down their gear, so I don't know if I will be shown as the last finisher. Great event, nicely organized. |

Run the Canal Road South, this direction has more hills.
During the last few miles of my race last saturday (where, once again, I finished in the top 95% of all finishers) I was focusing on staying upright and moving forward. I came to a fork in the trail and there was no ribbon marker. I stopped and looked around and it hit me. I know I will never set any speed records, I just love running in the woods. I'm in love with a sport in which I have no discernable talent. I looked at the trail marker and determined the direction to the finish and I was off and running. I made it to another finish line to the cheers of friends, old and new. So I wear my shirts proudly and train for the next race with dreams of finishing in the top 75%. What a great time. |

| Early morning run on the canal road to Sardine Canyon. Diverted up to the upper bench and back twice to add some hill training. |
