Ran in a tough 5k in Park City, UT. Lots of hills, an especially challenging one near the end, but the last couple hundred yards were downhill to the finish line. The Funky 5k benefitted a children's art program and was part of the Park City Miner's Day celebration. 99 of 159 overall. 14 of 20 in the broad M 45-59 AG. At 8000' elevation,  the reduced oxygen content in the air is noticible!

Set a PR this morning at the Peach Days 10k in Brigham City, UT. My time was 1:04:38 which beat my old PR by 5:25. This was my 3rd 10k. The morning was brisk, or better yet downright cold. It was a good course for a road race. Nice mix of hills and flats. Before the race I heard one lady tell another it was 75% uphill which is hard to accomplish with a circuit course with the same start and finish line. I ran well and felt good through the entire race. I was able to visit with old running friends afterwards and met some new friends. Nice race.

Ran another 5 in the afternoon and my wife and I ran an easy 2.5 miles in the evening. She said she thought our run was what hell would be like, but she is getting faster and her endurance is increasing...and it was her idea to get out and run on the trail.
