Short report-Happy with a pr still not feeling the freshest but better so I will take it. Stuck with my plan of starting out alittle easier and then cranking it down.
My game plan and goal for today was to start out at an easier avg. pace then I would end up with and to stay storger at the end. I think I did pretty well at that. Warmed up with Marci and Michelle at the start and stretched. Ran the fisrt little bit with Bruce and Melanie, Bruce backed down after 2 miles and Mel went ahead about mile 5 so I was on my own. Started the race not really feeling fresh, middle felt alittle better but not great and end was hard but was determind to finish better than Provo half. Splits by miles markers

6-6:27 Feeling pretty good with this but know the work begins. Took my gu at 6.5

8-6:05 I think this mile was short, on the path with the rollers.

All in all I am happy with today. Ankle is sore, kind of wonder if I am getting some tendonitis in it. Hope it ok.
