Race: Deseret News 10k (6.2 Miles) 01:04:57
Total Distance
6.20

Well I beat my time by 5+ minutes from last year, but I am disappointed with how slowly I still run.  Given the fact that I am not a bit sore, I should have pushed myself alot harder.  I tried to make up time by running down the big hills fast, but I think I started the race out at too slow of a pace.  Oh well maybe next year. My husband and son ran "with" me, and did great.  My 12 year old son ran a 59:59, without any running training, only soccer!!  He did awesome!

Hey Peg, a 1:30 improvement is something to brag about, especially in a 10k. Nice job by your soccer stud. We had a soccer guy join a Ragnar team three years ago. He showed up in Logan with his new running shoes still in the box. He proceeded to run all his legs around a 6:30 - 7:00 minute pace, blowing all of us away. Those guys must run a lot.

nice job on beating your time from last year, and congrats to your son on an awesome race!
