If it was not for the blog today would have been a day that I didn't run, so I did the Hooper Tomato Days 5K. I was going to take my mom with me so she could do the walk but she is 82 and just getting over a cold so I thought it was better to keep her out of the rain. I visited her after on my way home. 

So the course was flat and just around a big block out in Hooper. I was bib 100 of 100 runners, so not a big run. I had a great run though, around the 2 mile mark I could tell that I was slowly closing the distance between me and the runner in front, so I picked up the pace thinking it would be great to post that I chicked some guy at the race. At around mile 21/2 I was closing in to about 20 yards, at almost the 3 mile mark I was shoulder to shoulder with him, we turned the corner and could see the finish, some guy breazed past us... then the guy I was next to ran to catch him... I could not pick up my pace enough to catch them before the finish :( so mad that I didn't beat him. They have not posted the official times, but if my watch is close, this was my fastest 5K in probably 6 years. :) Pretty Cool Huh!!!

Didn't sleep very well becaus I needed to get my run in early, I'm in a class in SLC the rest of the week. So I was running at 5:30 in the dark :(. I will be at my son's apartment the rest of the week running in SLC in the morning, wish me luck.

I didn't sleep very well last night not being in my own bed but it was not too bad. I thought I had figured out a 6 mile loop from my son's apartment but I got a bit off track so I estimate it was about 51/2 miles. Running in the city is so different... too many cars, people and stop lights.

I'm getting better at running in the city, but still not sure I would ever really like it. My son says that I need to go to a park and just lap the park... but that doesn't sound fun either. If I had the time I would try to find some trails, but since I'm only here for a bit more this will have to do.

Well this was a very low mileage week, but if it were not for this blog I would probably not that even done the runs. I have a half day tomorrow and then I'm done with helping at the class, unfortunately I don't really get a weekend :( 

My run this morning was OK, I felt achey I don't know if it's that I have not slept well or what is going on.
