Went to the URC/FRB St. Patricks 10k with the family. My three oldest kids ran the 200M race. Connor came in second. After the race Jed didn't want to be done, he said "Let's race again." Jaxine did great as well, I think she was the first girl to finish, but she might have been the only girl. My race went well. I didn't pay attention to my splits as I went along. I was just enjoying the run along the river. The course was an out and back, with a mile and 5k that started at the same time. After the 5k turn around point I could finally see who was actually in my race. Davy Crockett was just ahead of me and took a wrong turn, and like a fool I followed him. It was just a small detour which may have cost us ten seconds. I passed him a few times but he ended up beating me. My goal was sub 7 minute miles. If I include my detour and the fact that the course was a little long, then I did it. 6:59 per mile. woohoo. After the race we went to Carl's Jr and I got two Spicy Chicken Sandwiches and a Big Hamburger. Update - It was such I nice day that I had to go for a trail run. I headed North and then went down the lower portion of Wild Rose Trail, then turned around and came back up it. I then continued North to the Bonnevile Shoreline Trail and run up to the radio towers. I then headed back home. 10.68 miles total. Here is the start of the kids race. My kids from right to left are Connor, Jed, and Jaxine.
