| just a tuneup for the marathon. I think I finished 5th or 6th in the 10K but am not completely sure since they only record finish times for the top 3 and there was a group pretty far in front of me. The 13 year old kid who ran a 1:16 at the TOU half shredded this course in 34:39. Imagine the state records he is going to break in high school. Steve Anderson took it easy and ran 36 flat with a torn acchilles tendon. I ran maybe the first quarter mile with him before he took off. He looked good in his trademark beach shorts. There were more hills on this course than I anticipated, this is the first year I have done the 10K, running the 5K last year. It was also fairly cold for this time of year. Mile splits were 5:53 (mostly down) 6:36 (mostly up) 6:14 (not as much up) 6:13, 6:07 (down?) 6:09, 5:41 for 0.14 according to my garmin (my watch said 6.14 miles, whatever). worked out fine, my heart and mind really weren't in this, just trying to get some tempo miles in in preparation for TOU. A nice fun local low key race to get just enough motivation to run some miles faster than marathon pace, hard for me to do if not pushed a little in a race. Maybe I will look for a 5K on next Saturday.

| tough day, 8:22 pace on a USU-BST loop. the highlight of the day was arriving at work at 7AM to see some pranksters had run a jolly roger pirate flag up on one of the spires of old main- it looked great with the high wind, I wish I had brought my camera. I thought it was hilarious. the grumpy administrators made sure it was taken down by 8:30. I guess they don't share the pranksters sense of humor. how they got it up there is a good question. my guess is it involved ropes, ascenders and rapelling. very clever.

| was going to run some threshold intervals. started pouring rain big time. ran 1 x 400 and gave up being soaked and ran up to the indoor track. then ran 5 x 880 on the 220 track about 3:00 each. foot and shin started hurting from the tight turns so called it a day. why am I even writing this boring gibberish? |

parked on Hollow road at about mile 16.75 (intersection with highway), ran to mile 20 of tou course, back to truck, switched into the brooks T5s I bought on ebay to try them out. they seem narrower than the T4s I liked, tight on my wide feet bummer, oh well I got them cheap. I don't think I dare run the marathon in them so will stick with the wave ronins. Ran to mile 14 then ran at tempo pace back to my car. troubled by a stiff head wind going back down Hollow road, which is unusual, it better not be there next week or I will be asking for a refund.
6.5 miles @7:29, 2.75 miles @ 7:42, 2.75 miles @ 6:22.
