AM- Weird out and back course for Sand Hollow Half Marathon. After the first mile my right hamstring was feeling like it was going to seize up on me. I backed off the pace and started to worry a little bit. After the turn around the sun came out and I started to warm up. Still didn't run amazing time but at least I did a negative split. I usually don't do that in a race. Dawson was a couple of minutes behind me. I'll consider todays race more like a workout. 13.49 miles

*I probably didn't do the math right, just trying to show my negative split. I'll have Ross double check.
PM1- Running around watching kids perform well at track meet. Trey got a new school record in the 3200 (9:27). .3 miles
