Met early with Bethany on the JRP in Lehi. We ran to the hot springs just off Utah lake and then came back and then went north to mile 12 so that once we got back we'd end up with 17.  7:19 pace which felt nice and relaxed. She was breathing a bit harder so im sure I pushed her.  I have been feeling it in my piriformis lately.  Time to find a groupon massage offer.

Bethany and I got the American Flyers Race Pacers ready and organized before the race and lined up. Went to the start. Didn't recognize anyone. I saw my Pearl Izumi team mate. He ended up running amazing today. He took second overall ahead of me. It was a nice and sunny day!! A bit cold at the start but warmed up quick. I had a few runners with me to mile 7 which are the uphill miles. As soon as it dropped I could finally get my legs to turnover. I was trying to keep my mind from wandering so I started thinking about the last 10k and used kilometers and meters instead of miles. It went by quicker figuring out how many meters I had left instead of miles. When I am running my mind races.  So when I am by myself I start looking at my watch more and getting bored. Doing games like this in my head keeps me from fading. At the finish I watched the pacers come in on their times and the reactions of those runners they helped stay on pace. I know I say this every time that this is my fuel my passion. I saw Kelli and Bill pace 1:45 and brought the same guy in as they have the last 3 years. This was their 4th year. How incredible was that you ask? Ask any other pace group in the nation. I will fight you if you find one! 😜 :)
