After taking a day off yesterday due to a cold coming on I ran with the gang on the SG course. I say ran with it was more like drove up with. Beautiful day in St. George temps in the upper 40's to 50 or so at the finish. Started at Veyo and purposely went out slow not wanting to use all my energy on the hills. That ended up being a great warmup just trying to keep a 8:30 average pace through Dammeron. 6miles in I had an 8:25 average- From this point on I carried a 7:42 pace through 13 miles and the last .25 was at 6:52 trying to catch Dustin in the last 1/2 mile. Didn't catch him. Felt very good with this run considering I was somewhat under the weather and had some stomach issues towards the end- too much salsa and spices yesterday. Overall average pace was 7:54 and I was hoping to run 8:30 pace. I am feeling confident that I can have a good Utah Valley race and feel that 3:25 may be in sight if things go well-
