In search of old age PRs

Run to Sugar House Park

4 x 1200 at East High School

Run above Hogle Zoo and up Kennedy then back to house.

Run in Vacaville, CA. on a very hot evening.

Run on old railroad track line in Tulare, CA.  I found the Santa Fe bike and dirt trail about a mile from my hotel and followed it east until it ended at a canal and grape field.  It was a late evening run, but still 96 degrees at the finish.

Diagnosed with the flu today, so no running for the next couple of days.

Decent race today at the Murray 5K.  I was not feeling great when I woke up, so I did not expect to much (flew home from Oakland late Friday night).  The Murray race always has fast people, but I was surprised that 18:10 took 2nd in my age group.

Mile 1: 5:37--Way to fast for the uphill climb.  I would pay for this in the later miles.

Mile 2: 5:53--Closer to pace, but struggling to stay with the pack.  A guy named George passed me here.  He always passes me in 5K races in Salt Lake.  I need to stay ahead of him if I want to run in the 17's.

Mile 3: 6:04--I was done, but could see the first place female closing in on me.  I also passed a couple of peope which was a surprise.

Mile 3.1 0:34 (5:17)--Did not get chicked!  I should have had more kick to place two spots higher, but not bad with all things considered.
