Too tired and had a bad headache this morning- went back to bed- Did go out for an invigorating 25 mile bike ride in the mid 60's temps once I did get up and going- Felt good. Kept a pace of about 18-19mph for most of the ride.

PM- 6 1/2 miles from DSC to home 7:20 pace- legs felt great!

Aftern no running on Thursday and Friday due to driving I ran the Cedar Canyon Half Marathon. The race conditions were very good with thin cloud cover for most of the race. I didn't feel very prepared to race hard but put in a good effort anyway. I held back on the top 5-6 miles not wanting to run too hard but still averaged low 6's. After 9 1/2 miles I was on course to break 1:30 but got a bit lazy. I started to get blisters on both feet due to using a new orthotic and it left a gap between my insole and the side of my shoe. I ended up with 2 good sized blisters, one on each foot. I started thinking too  much about them and was mentally weak to push hard. The body felt good but I also was getting pretty tired for the last 3 miles.

The organization was not a good as last year. Waited around for 2 hours after the race for the awards, 2nd in age group, then finally left. They wanted to wait till all had completed the race because there were some potential winners on the course. Most of the award recipients took off....
