I have been sick all week. Laying around not being able to breath, headaches, sinus pressure......you get the picture.

Last night I decided no way was I going to go to Cedar and run the Summer Games 10k. I tossed and turned all night and then looked at the clock, 4:45, If I get up and go now I can make it in time. So I went-

It sure was tough trying to breath in the higher elevation plus I couldn't breath well anyway. Went out at 6:36 pace for the first mile wondering how long I could hold this pace. Kept pretty steady through mile 2 with 6:46. The things started getting tough with the breathing 7:07/ 7:43, At this point I decided the only way I could finish with out dying would be to take some walk breaks---7:36/ 7:21 and finished the last .2 at 7:09

Not so happy about the time but happy I finished and won my age group, I ended up being the only one, wish I would have known that before the race then I could have had a lot more fun..lol

We shall see how the 5k goes in the morning-----

Ran the Utah Summer Games 5k this morning. After 2 nights in a row of no sleep this was not looking to be a good day for a race.Nothing special just a solid consistent race. I really wanted to push a little harder for a sub 20 but I didn't have it in me. After the first 1/2 miles I knew it wouldn't happen. My splits were very close to the 10k for the first 2 miles. I ended up with a 20:42 which is my second fastest 5k so not too bad but had I been healthy and not coming off of a marathon I feel I could do a sub 20-

Steve got me thinking about the Track and Field events. Looked at them I feel that I could metal in most if not all of the running events....thinking....thinking.....well next week I will decide if I can give some of them a try. Daughter is having a baby any day so that is the priority, if it works out I may try 3 or 4 events.
