I had high hopes for this race. It didn't go as planned. Lots of fast guys showed up. My plan was to try to stick to 5:10s the whole way. I made it about 8 miles. I ran in 6th place the whole race. After I started to feel fatigued I kind of gave up and just cruised in. I'm a mental cupcake. 

Drove home right after the race to join my son, Ezra at the elementry school 5k. That race was way more fun.

Big group for a run on the UVM course. Wallsberg to the soccer park in Orem. Ran most of it with Matt, Ben, Jason and John. 3 up.

10 miles at ~5:50. Then 5 (starting a Vivian park) at ~5:25. 

3 down. Awesome run. It was great to run with some of the Ogden crew. Felt pretty good but my cold is still bugging me.

Ran up Provo canyon with the crew. 9 up. 6 down at MP effort (5:25 avg). 5 cooldown with 6x80m strides on the grass in my bare feet. Lovely time. Legs felt heavy. Just getting over a nasty flu/cold streak. Hoping to recover and get back to business soon.
