I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Race: Hot Pursuit 5K (3.107 Miles) 00:20:28, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 1

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
5.00	3.10	8.10

I had a lot of fun at the race this morning. It definitely wasn't an easy course but racing without any pressure is sure enjoyable. I had three goals.

1. Beat Allie & Andrea's "jogging" 5K time from last week.

2. Run a negative split.

3. Keep my 4th of July hat on.

I successfully (barely) accomplished all three so I'm calling it a victory. I wouldn't go out on a limb and say it was easy by any means but the effort definitely felt right considering I've been a complete mess since TOU. 6:41, 6:32, 6:26, 5:52 for the last .1.

I felt pretty good during the slow 3 mile warmup and the race but the cooldown was a completely different story. My IT and right calf were killing me and I thought I might have to crawl back to the awards ceremony. It may not have helped that Kassi and Devra dragged us straight up a freaking mountain! But still it was ridiculous how terrible I felt.

I won a sweet jacket for dressing up like an idiot in my cutoff shorts & 4 leaf clover socks so all in all a successful day and definitely worth the trip up to the city! The best part of the day was definitely brunch after the race at Kevins.

Take care of those legs! That's a great time on that course - post TOU and injury aside.

I'd say you kicked some butt. It takes some time to bounce back after a good marathon. Good talking to you!
