Went to the Draper Park and ran the Trail with Misty, Scott and Kelli. I ran with Scott for 11 miles then did a half mile tempo run and then a half mile slow jog/walk. It was windy on the way out and on the way back had a tail wind. There was a race going on that all of us should have run. We would have dominated. lol

Race: Utah Valley Marathon (26.2 Miles) 02:48:00, Place overall: 10, Place in age division: 3

Went up to the start with Scott, Kory, and Jeff. We didnt have to wait long to start. I felt pretty good at the start we were pretty conservative. Kory was more conservative, he stayed back a bit. I ran a really good pace with Jeff Shadley and we were in 8th and 9th position.  After 10 miles he started pulling me which i didnt mind, my goal was to push myself at all cost to stay with them and see what i could do. I made it to mile 13.1 in 1:17 which is what we were hoping for. I really had to find a porta potti after that and at mile 14 there was one. one of the volunteers were in it and i patiently and loudly waited. I got in and by the time i was out, Kory had passed with a good 200 meter lead. I then wanted to catch him and try running with him to catch Jeff but I think Kory heard my plan and took off! He is an amazing finisher! I found myself alone and tried sticking to pushing myself but with a flu that came on me on Wednesday and Ogden that i felt in my legs still I was doomed.At mile 18 I saw Steve Ashbaker and he had dropped out which put me in 9th place.  Miles 20-23 were horrid and lonely and hard for me. I grinded it out and at mile 25 I was passed and then threw up for a few seconds and then pushed out and tried getting going again. Kelli Stephenson was running back my direction and picked me up and paced me the last mile in which is what i needed. I had to stop a couple of times, one was I thought i was going to hurl and the other I was dizzy! Made it in and I was really out of it for 5 minutes. I got my bearings back and everything was fine. Not my fastest race but a great forced run to add to my resume.

I started my second leg at around 2:40 am. I ran from Coalville up to the Dam of rockport then around the lake. My average for that run was a 6:28. My third leg was at noon and it had 1 mile of uphill then shot me down a 1700 feet of drop over the next 6 miles. I tad two uphill stretches that challenged me but I had fun with that. I aceshed a 5:06 mile for this 7.3 mile leg and had a best Jule of 4:14! I wished I could run that on a Track!

I ran by myself from my house up to daybreak and around the temple loop and back. It was a nice slow  7:51 average pace and had 2 hills to conquer. Coming down was pretty painful in the backs of my knees and butt. I am still sore from saturdays pounding! I need a massage bad especially my IT band. Very sore!

Went down to 98th with Misty and ran with Danielle on the park trail for  7 miles. I then went to my car to open it and stretch. I put the keys on the seat and the door shut on me which was no biggie. Then the doors locked! How the heck is that possible! I opened the doors with the key fob and after 30 seconds they automatically lock again. So I was locked out and Danielle had gone. Misty was still on the trail running so I ran back on the trail and told Misty I was going to run to Danielles house to see if she would give me a ride home to get the spare key. I ended up running another 1.5 miles and her brother took me home and back and we got the door opened which made us both late for work of course! 

 Ran later this evening on the Park trail from 7th west North. I saw Steve Ashbaker out and about.
