| I was still in St. George we really enjoyed being down there for several days. I ran from my parents house in Coral Canyon again and started going down that pathway down the gorge that I don't know the name of. Then I turned right where the pathway splits and came out of the gorge by Washington parkway. I took Washington parkway until just before reaching the freeway. I then got on a trail that took me under the free way and connected me to Grapevine trail (dirt road) ran on that for a little bit then got on Prospector trail which I took for a while and then went back under the freeway and looped back to me parents house. I enjoyed running on some trails in nice weather. AP: 7:51.

| When I woke up this morning I didn't feel well at all so I went back to sleep, hoping I could get my run in later. I felt weak all day long so I didn't run.

| Ran home from work. Did 2 miles of warmup 4 miles of aerobic builder then 5 miles easy. I was hoping to run 8-10 miles of aerobic builder but I was feeling real weak again and my left calf was really tight so I called it quits on the builder after 4. Mile splits for the builder were: 5:26, :25, :23, and :35. Just having one of those weeks. Still planning on racing the Salt Lake Winter Series 5k on Saturday.

| Ran to work. Ran nice and easy. Calf wasn't as tight this morning. I spent a lot of time last night rubbing it out. I didn't feel nearly as weak as I've been feeling either. Felt better about things today. AP: 7:19

| Woke up early and did 9 easy miles from my house. Met up with Riley, Amy, Dave, and Albert and rode down with them to the race. Ran 3.5 miles of warm-up. Then ran the race. I wanted to average 5:00 minute miles. The gun went off and I did good being patient for about a 1/4 mile then I got antsy and took off. Moved into 3rd place for little bit as I was just barely ahead of Bryant and Scott. Riley and Jason already had a pretty good gap. The first mile was about 4:52. Bryant and Scott then passed my and started to gap me little by little but Jason looked like he was coming back so I thought I might have a shot at him. The second mile was about 4:59. I forgot how painful 5k's can be it's weird you think it is going to go by so quickly and then you get about 1/2 way done and you think to yourself wow I'm only 1/2 way, I've still got a long ways to go. So the last 1.1 miles I was just doing my best to hold on. At some point I gave up on trying to catch anyone, Jason found another gear and went by Bryant and Scott, and I was just trying to hold onto 5th. Well that didn't happen because Jake went blowing by me with about 1/4 of a mile to go in the race. I heard him coming and I wanted to respond but my legs weren't having it. 3rd mile was about 4:58. Making the last 1/10 about 46 seconds. Overall I was very happy because I was right around 5:00 minute mile pace which was the goal. The only regret is that I was so close to beating such a great runner but I ended up getting passed by him in the last little bit. It was fun though to be in such a competitive race. Great race guys! Ran 3 mile cool down after the race.
