I run therefore, I am!

Ran 4 easy miles at a 4:50 pace. Just kidding.  7:15 had to shake the dust off my legs.

Went to try a wetsuit for triathlons this morning at the pool and it felt good. swam 800 yards.

Poured 15 yards of flatwork and then moved my equipment from downtown slc to clearfield. I may have to use this as a easy miles day.

Diesel:   $4.49 a gallon!  spent 350 on gas today.

4 nice and easy miles in the morning

Ok first of all I wanted to thank Logan and his Wife for putting on a great Pasta party!  Its good to put some faces to the names on this blog.  After the party I was driving home to south jordan and my truck broke down and I had to have it towed! the tow truck showed up at 10:30 and my wife showed up at 11 pm.  I raced home and got my stuff together and turned the lights off and the alarm went off.   Hey, Im just telling you how it was!  We got up to the race and I made a game plan to run with Cody.  I have to say his running has really improved since Striders!  Thanks Cody and Ben if you read this for keeping me at a safe pace.  I probably would have tried to push it and stick with Jeff and Chad and I know I would have bombed out because my legs are still not 100% better from Boston.   I felt really good at mile 18 but not as good as Cody.  He put on the gas and gained 200 yards in no time on Ben and myself.  I was still not sure as to try to go after him so I just stuck it out with Ben and he seamed to be struggling and by the 19th mile we were back running together.  At mile 22 Ben got excited and took off with a great pace, I was surprised at it.  Kory wheatly then passed me and really stayed just ahead of me and cody.  I had nothing left and I just tried to not stop, but at 25 I had to try and catch my breath and cody passed me.  I stayed close behind him until the last couple of blocks and he picked up the pace really good.  So I just worked on keeping myself from being passed by anyone else.  I was very light headed at the finish but my legs were way better this race than at Boston.  I will give my body a break next week and do some cross training and then concentrate on building my miles up to 90+ a week.  This race was extremely difficult to run in due to the blistering heat.  My shoulders are fried!  It was good to see everyone at the start and finish and I must say we make a huge presence when we are in the blog/running company atire!
