Went to Riverton HS. Did a warmup then 8x400s. Then a cool down. Did it with Danielle Misty and Charity. I started back with the city today and had a warm welcome. They had a newspaper article in the office with my name on it from Boston. They all have been coming up to me and congratulating me. Now I'm mad I didn't do better.

Ran the Park Trail in Lehi with Lisa till the trail end and back this evening. Butt is feeling it a bit but I am ok..

Went over to Jordan Landing and did a 1 mile warmup in the rain. I started out really fast, I didnt have my garmin on but I felt like a good 5:20 pace. I looked at the course map before and new there was a turn at the corner of Lowes and when I got to it I saw a sign that said turn right and I did but the cop pacing me went straight. I kept running for about a tenth of a mile and heard him honking to me so I turned around and by the time I got back I was still ahead of the other runners behind me. I sped up to the cop and told him he was going the wrong way. He said just stick with me and youll be fine. I did and I ended up winning it but after the race I told him he went the wrong way and he admitted it so he added a good .25 to the race. I was shocked when I saw my time at 19. I felt like I was really pushing a low 5 pace. I probably was. I wished I wouldve had my garmin on now. I ran my oldest daughter in after and then did a 1 mile race with Bailey my 8 year old. I taught her to pace herself and she did awesome! The kids all sprinted ahead of her and there was about 30 kids ahead of her at .5 mile mark and I showed her how they were slowing down so we picked up the pace and by the .25 miles to go I pushed her hard into 1st place but an older girl just nudged her to out sprint her at the end. I was so proud of her. She did a 8:30! Geez louise!  I awarded her with the trophy I got. 

I just talked to a few people with Garmin watches on. One of them said they had 3.6 and some said 3.4 so I figured about a 3.5 would be close to this distance.
