I wanted to see if I could hold my pace at around 8:30 or better for the entire run, I had 7 miles at better than an 8:20 pace and then 3 that were closer to 8 minute miles and then one that was under 8 minute pace. Average pace was 8:30 with my heart rate average at 145, total time was 2:09:16. I headed out towards the riverbottoms and they were setting up the course for the Spanish Fork Half marathon, and I was wishing that I was running it, but I am afraid of getting more injured than I already am and I don't want to ruin my chances for SG! After I had about 12 miles I decided that wait and cheer some of my fellow bloggers on so I took a break and did just that! I ran into Sasha and he was right out front, as usual and there was no one around him for a while, I saw James and Tom and Michelle and Josse and Kim, Kent Wing and then I decided I would wait for my brother Curtis to come around and he was looking good so I cheered him on. Twice, once at the "T" and then again just as he came from pretty little hill, and then I headed for home... I saw a few others that I recognized and a girl from my ward and they were all doing good, I didn't get in the amount of miles that I wanted to but it was fun seeing everyone and cheering them on now I have to get to Ethan's soccer game.

See ay Monday.

Good job on the mileage and the pace Bro. And thanks for cheering me on it was good to see you out. I missed you running the race today you will do great at SG. Have a great weekend.

It was great to see you today Clay and get some cheers. For a spectator-deprived course like this it helps a lot.

Looks like you also had a great run today. What a beautiful morning to be out for a run.

Clay, good to keep SG as the ultimate goal. Thanks for your comments. Hope to meet you at St.George. Good luck the next few weeks of training.
