you should come up to Logan saturday and run the shamrock shuffle 5K with me and Paul. starts at 10AM at skyview high in Smithfield. but that's a long way to go for a 5K. then again, think of the bragging rights when you beat me.

That's funny, I was actually going to invite you to come down and run the Rex Lee Run 5K with me this Saturday. But then I noticed that you are already planning to do a 5K. Bummer, we should definitely get together and run a race soon.

hmmm... I could visit my daughter at BYU, and the race is hosted by my alma mater department, looks tempting... I will give it some thought and get back to you. but why are you running the 5 when there is a 10K?

I'm doing the 5K because I haven't done one in forever. I want to see if I can break 19 minutes and maybe even 18.

It's kinda funny that I'm doing a 5K one week and then a 50 miler two weeks later.

From Scott Ensign on Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 20:44:56 from 65.100.253.126

the course has a pretty tough climb up to 900 east, if you can break 18 on it you are in great shape. I will meditate on it and let you know...

I'm actually more concerned about the long, slow uphill from 800 North to the track in the last mile. It's not steep, but it's at the end. I figure the starting adrenaline will carry me up that first hill. Especially if your speedy self is carrying me along.

P.S. We interviewed one of your former students for our program here at the U of U. He's a sharp kid.

looks like the biggest challenge here is going to be getting in front of the pack of amateurs if you want to do well, my guess is a bunch of eager kids will pack the line and cause all kinds of race chaos at the start by charging out fast and then burning out.

the smithfield race has an initial uphill worse than that, a nasty course but there will only be 50 runners probably. but it is no course to PR on, I will be lucky to run 19:30.

I will probably stick to my plan to do our 5K, there is a guy here my age I need to race, and I should do some work around the house saturday. I'll let you know if I change my mind though!

Sounds good. Good luck in your race!!
