Box Elder County Fair 5K. 2 mile easy warm-up, registered and waited for the start. Good turn out with a lot of high school runners. I ran at, for me, a good pace with a decent kick at the end to keep from getting passed by the women's 50-59 AG winner. First place in the 50-59 AG, complete with ribbon and trophy. My wife asked if I was going to carry the trophy around all day and I told her I had considered it. Entry fee? Free. That was nice. Nicely run event.

Came home and ran 5 more miles on the trails. Hot and really windy, but overall a great day running.

Hey, congrats on 1st place in the AG!!! That is very, very cool. I would have definitely carried the traphy around all day.
