Went to Dimple Dell Gym and did 3.1 on their indoor track and 3 on the treadmill. 1 mile at a 6% grade 1 at normal grade and 1 mile at 8% grade at 8 mph. Good workout. Will try and run this evening.

Went to a park in Riverton and did a warmup mile then did quarter mile marathon paced intervals. My knees hurt a bit from that but I will live!

Late afternoon, ran 8 miles up around daybreak in my shorts and long sleaved shirt from St. George Half marathon. Very nice day. a bit windy from the north.  Its nice to see people out walking again and spring birds singing and...is that a song I hear coming on...

Met Danielle up at Daybreak and did an 8 mile run with her. I cant believe how much colder it is tonight compared to last night. sheesh! It feels as though a storm is in the midst. My lower back was giving me some pain. I think its just age creeping up.

Ran from my house up to Dimple Dell Gym and did some serious swimming! NOT. I played with my 8 year old daughter Bailey. We went down the slide, and played on the kids toys they have. I guess i used it as a cold teatment for my legs.

Went up to Dee Events center and it was 22 degrees when I got there. I was shocked at how cold it was only 45 miles north of us.  I did a warm up and lined up behind these girls who would not let me get to the front. At the last second I sort of pushed my way by them and then took off. I was behind Ben and another runner for the first half mile up hill and then it started to level off and Steve made a huge push and got Ben running faster. my first mile was 5:37 which is ok because we didnt really push hard up the hill. I was in 3rd place at this point and Steve and Ben were just blasting down the hill. Mile two I did a 5:08 and they were gapping me. Unbelievable! I talked to Steve and he said they did a 4:40 mile on the second mile. ugg! Mile 3 Ben passed Steve at this point and looked real strong. I did a 5:40 with some ups and downs but gradual ups. Steve started fading from Ben at this point and I was gaining on him. Mile 4, 5:52 and I was fading and the pack of runners behind me started gaining. Mile 5, 6:31. This is the oh so famous hill I like to call 'bastard hill' Im not gonna lie when I say its close to 10% grade for about 1/4 mile and the rest isnt as steep but still bastard like! I was happy to see a 6:31 pace at this time. I did pass Steve just before mile 5 and tried to get my legs to accelerate. It was hard. at 1/2 mile to go I peeked back and saw a runner hot on my back and started to push as hard as I could with some nice downhill to the Dee events center. I beat him only by 12 seconds so he was a downhill runner. Mile 6 was a 6:30 time and I finished in 36:30. Ben beat the course record in 35:02 and did great! Im glad this race is behind me. One more hard race to go. Im trying to decide if its smart to do it this year one week before Moab half. I am known for my insanity though. We will see!
