I run therefore, I am!

Met at Bingham High with the BBK group and did 3.35 warmup and then did a little jog out to the start of our tempo speed workout. We did 1 minute hard, 1 rest 3 hard 3 rest, 5 hard, 3 rest, 7 hard 3 rest then 5 hard, 3 rest 3 hard, 2 rest, 1 hard then a cool down. Ended up with 10 glorious miles.

I multi tasked this morning and saved a ton of money by running! I moved 2 of my semi trucks from a job site 1 mile away and ran back to the job site from where I parked them in Draper. I was in Levis and luckily I wore my running shoes. I must of been a site for those that passed me. ( he must be a new runner and hasnt figured out the running gear yet.)  I ended up with 2 miles. 

This evening I ran 8 miles and my brand new garmin 310 is giving me problems. Good thing I bought it at REI this time. Im going to take it back tonight and exchange it. My right hip is hurting and it is a painful dull feeling. Im going to ice bath it right now and baby it for a while.

met with the bbk runners and did a nice and easy 9 miles

I always go into a race knowing there will be competition and I did today also which is good because right off the bat I had some good runners around me. I felt my legs kind of heavy at mile 1 and guy a 5.24 mile which is good and about the same time as last weeks race. I was passed at mile 1.5 and putme into 2nd but he looked young and I felt like he would guy mile 3 and if catch him. That was the case and I thought that would be it but he came back at mile 8 and made a push to end up with a minute and a half lead to win. I could feel it Pretty good from moabs race and tried to push but couldn't seem to be able to break a 6 pace so I guess my age is showing there. The winners name is Jason Nance and will probably be getting on here to blog his miles so watch for him he Has a great career ahead of him. I wished I could go back to 21 and see where if be today! Mile 2 was 5.46 3 was 5.30 4 was 5.55 5 was 5.43 6 was 5.36 7 was 5.46 8 was 5.50 9 was 6.01 10 was 6. 11 was 6.21. 12 was 6.07 13 was 5.46 and .1 was :56. The official on a bike wrecked right behind me and I felt bad. I shouldve done the right thing and gone back and helped him up. I was off of winning anyways.
