Total Distance

16.25

6 miles in the morning.

10.25 miles in the afternoon.

The weather was cold and windy this morning. I warmed up a little bit and pushed the last 3 miles. Didn't worry too much about the pace though. Today the cross country team was doing its own little race at Mt. Ogden park so I decided to run from my house to the park. It was basically all uphill to the park. I wanted to keep the pace under 6:00/mile. I did this except for one mile where it was a 6:11/mile. The weather was cold and it was windy again so I was happy with the effort. I paced the top 5 runners for the team. The course went up around the golf course and up into the mountains. It was once again all uphill. It was a nice big loop. I pushed these guys in and was happy to see them do well. They have improved over the season. The weather got even colder as I was running home. It was at this point and time where I thought, "I need to move too St. George where the weather is great to run in year round." I don't know where this thought came but I will have to talk with Katey about this. It is too enticing! I averaged 6:09/mile overall for the full 10.25 miles. I was thrilled with the pace considering 8 or so miles of it was uphill. I am headed to St. George now to spend the next 4 days with family. I can't wait to get out and run in some nice weather. It will be a nice change of scenery.

Sounds like you have been getting some good miles in. Hey I just cleaned your little brother and sister's teeth today. They were both so nice, especially Paige, she's a doll!

I really like the sound of that moving to SG stuff. You'll be able to get a job at SC, DesHills, or here at PV (I finally got permission for an XC assistant - amazing since I have the 2nd biggest program in school next to football!)

Have a great Thanksgiving - wish I was going to be down here to run with you.
