I run therefore, I am!

Went to the Olympic Oval and did a warmup and then did 400's. With a 400 recovery. Did 12 of them. Then a cool down to hit 10 miles. Busy night on the track. There must've been over 60 kids doing a workout and 20 other run walkers on it. Missed my run yesterday and so did Leslie who I've been trying to keep accountable with. Wasn't sure why she was being quiet but i ended texting her at 11:30 last night to find out and she had as rough of a day as I had so we used it to fuel our day today. 

Was going to run with Leslie tonight but her meeting lasted to 11. I hit my friends treadmill that i live with. Did 3 miles just to say i ran today. Then Leslie called me at 11:15 and facetimed me till midnight to prove she was running. Lol I should do that next time I'm on a boring TM. It went by quick. Kind of a fun call. I'm do excited to help my friends! This year my mission is to go out of my way to see and help my friends achieve awesomeness. For those rumor spreaders saying I'm out to destroy them I say quit being so f'ing insecure and worry about your pathetic life that you're ruining by spreading your rumors. This is my fuel! 

Ran my first USATF race of the year and all the guns were out today! Dennis Simonitis, Sasha, Scott Keate, Steve Anderson, Steve Ashbaker, and Rob Murphey were all there. I did a warmup of 3 miles and she'd my clothes down to shorts and singlet. Very cold morning. The race started and I got right behind Jake Krong. My first mile was 5:11. Felt ok. I wasn't running strong like the late fall. 5ks are so not my forte. I can never figure them out. I always feel like just have to go all out but I fade still in the short period of time. Second mile was 5:28. I hit half mile to go and Dennis came up along side and passed me strong. I worked hard to stay close to him. I hot to the .1 to go and started pushing with everything I had. I did pass a younger kid but Dennis beat me by 8 seconds. I love competing against him. He is so athletic. Our times were blah but I'm glad to have run with all these fast guys! I always take running against the top guys serious as well even though their legs are 10-20 years younger than mine. I love comparing myself to Riley and Jake and seeing them run. It's going to be a fun year! 
After the race I went and did a film documentary shoot they have been working on for runners in Utah that are running Boston. Very fun! I'll post it when It debuts! 
We ended up running another 3+ miles
