Catch me if you can

What a beautiful morning for a run.  There was snow on the trees and on the ground, but the roads and trail were dry.  I ran from home down to the end of the trail and back.  At mile 4 I stopped to tie my shoe.  Just then I got passed by a lady.  I had to prove to myself that I could keep up with her.  I stayed about 100 yards behind her for the next 5 miles.  When I finished, I felt like I had just run a race.  Average pace 8:29.

I could not drag myself out of bed.  I only had time for 3 slow miles.

Met the BBK's at South Jordan park for 3 x 5k's.  I ran the first 3.1 miles in 27:46 (8:55 ave.).  The next 3.3 miles was at an average pace of 8:02.  The final 3.1 miles at 7:54 ave. 

Met the BBK's in Herriman.  Kelli and Scott were in charge.  Now I know why they are so good at hills.  After the warm up we regrouped back at the church.  I ran then next several miles with Walter, Scott and Dean.  There was no way I could keep up with them on the monster hill and I fell behind.  It was a great run.  Thanks Kelli and Scott for planning it for us.  Average pace 8:23.   Not bad with all the hills.  My fastest mile was in the low 7's.
