Noon run, sunny, temp 78'

With my cold on the way out I could only feel it for the 1st couple of miles,  after that the pain went high enough that I didn't notice the cold until the run was over.

I'm running the Utah Marathon Relay in South Jordan this Saturday with some ward members.  Last year the winners were over 3 hours.  I'm guessing our team will run a 3:30 this year.  I'm sure if I grabbed a few of the WBR team we could win it with ease.

Time 27:50,  Mile avg. - 6:38

Morning run, temp 68

I have an appointment at lunch today so I decide to get up early and do a morning run.  My nose has stopped running but I still have a litte congestion in my chest.  Hopefully, that will be gone soon. 

I decided to run as I felt with the hope of pushing the pace a little.  I felt pretty good so I had a good run.  If I didn't have a little chest congestion I'm sure I'd have run a little faster.

Time 50:38,  Mile avg. - 7:14

Noon run, light rain, temp 65'

I ran the UT marathon relay route.  The first 2-3 miles my legs were complaining.  Running two days in a row got my legs a little stiff.  But the second half of the run started to feel much better.  I went from old man to young man running.

Taunia, thanks for baking brown homade bread.  It sure was good for lunch with peanut butter & honey.  Kinda like eating healthy cake.

The marathon relay race started 20 minutes late but it was a great day for running with the temperatures starting at about 55'. 

I had to go to a soccer game so I started off and won my heat by about 50 seconds.  With reduced training and a cold over the last week I thought I did good.  Of course I'd like to have run closer to 6 evens but I didn't have enough motivation.  I ran the 1st mile in 5:50 and it felt good but from then on the pace slowed down.  I couldn't convince myself it was worth it to run any harder than I was.  Mile avg. 6:16

I ran it with ward members Annette Kelly (44:45), Andrea Scott (42:21), Sue Pebbler (42:50), & John Pebbler(42:09).  The winning team got a 2:56 and all other teams were above 3 hours.  They had 54 teams total.
