I ran the Spectrum 10K with my brother Curtis and my Nephew Bryan... This is an extremely fast course the first 4 miles are straight down hill, my main goal today was to just stay with my brother and he started to push the pace from the get go! We average a 7:38 pace which felt very comfortable considering the limitted training that I have had, it was cool to run with my brother and watch him run a PR, it was alot of fun... Bryan had some IT band issues and had to slow down after mile 3 but he still ran an awesome race considering its his first race in along while. My hip felt really good which was cool and I have no noticable injurys or soreness, so maybe I was in better shape than I thought, so hopefully I can start to get ready for the hurricane half in may and get a PR... I was only off a PR by 4 minutes today so all in all it was a good race, I feel pretty good about it.

Went to In & Out and had a double double with a side of spread and it felt real good going down, its the simple pleasures in life that seem to mean the most;-)

See ya Monday.

Good race today. We couldn't make it over this morning because of the baby. Glad you got to grab a burger. They go down so easy.

Great job Clay! I will be going down for the Hurricane Half too. I might just run the 5k, because I am running Ogden 2 weeks after that? Awesome job today and a big cheer for no PAINS!!!
