Catch me if you can

I ran from home to the trail and back.  It was great to run in cooler weather.  Average pace 9:27.

Met the BBK's at Bingham this morning.  We warmed up for about 3.6 miles.  Average pace 9:14.  Then we did a track workout.  We ran a fast 1200.  Then we were paired up.  Michelle was my partner.  She did great.  We ran 4x600's each.  Then we ran 2 laps with slow curves and fast straights.   Then I ran until I hit 10 miles.  Thanks Kelli for finishing with me.  I didn't feel very fast today.  Average pace for the last 6.4 miles was 7:54. 

8 very slow miles.  The effort felt way harder than it should have.  Average pace 9:57.

Met the group at the church off of 9800 S. and 2200 W.  After the warm up, we ran up to Glenmore and back.  We kept the pace pretty easy.  Average pace 9:01.

I havn't felt all that great since I've been home from Cancun.   So this wasn't my best race, but I'm happy with my time.  It was fun to be able to volunteer again this year.   I was afraid I wouldn't make to start in time.  We sprinted over and just made it.  I felt decent the whole time, just not fast.  This race is fun because at the turn around you can see all the people ahead and behind you.  I loved seeing all the people from our group.  They did great.  My splits were 7:47, 7:34, 7:34, 7:46, 8:03, 7:30 and 1:07 for the last .2. 

I talked my 3 kids into running the 2.2 mile fun run.  They didn't even complain about having to go an hour and 15 minutes early while I helped with the registration.  They had so much fun running.  My daughter Taylor (16) finished in 17:10 and took 3rd overall.  Alex (14) finished in 19:07.  Austin (10) finished in 17:43 and took 2nd in his age group. 

It was fun knowing they would be there to cheer me on at the finish.
