I had a dream last night that I was riding in a 4-seater airplane with Burt at the helm. Needless to say, as soon as he flew close to the ground, I jumped out to safety. I'm not sure why Burt keeps showing up in my dreams. Must have something to do with race day.

I ran the Race for Remembrance 5K in American Fork, UT today. It was free! Yet it still was marked well, had police support, race numbers, etc. It just didn't have all the unnecessary extra stuff like chip timing, lots of SWAG, treats, etc. My kind of race! There were lots of other people there, maybe 300-400 at least. Anyway, I was happy with my run. I ran 18:35. A couple people measured it at at 2.98 miles, so I won't count it as a PR, but I was happy to see that I ran about as fast as last year in May. For most of the race, I could see Allie about 75 yards in front of me. I tried to catch her during the whole race and didn't quite make it. I'll have to check her blog for splits. I'm really happy to have run this time at this point in my training, and it gives me hope that I can run a PR on July 4.

LOL! Clearly you're afraid I'll beat you in a race. And obviously I would have because allie beat you. There's no way I would let allie EVER beat me.

Great time, though.

Nice! that's a great time especially on the amount of training you've done this year. That should mean big things for the rest of the season.
