Went to the Parktrail at 7th West and ran with Misty and Danielle. I ran a nice 8 pace with Danielle and then 2 miles at a 6:10 pace. I feel congested and my throat is sore this morning. Im going to pump Vitamin C in me today and pray it doesnt get worse.

Went up to the start with Scott, Kory, and Jeff. We didnt have to wait long to start. I felt pretty good at the start we were pretty conservative. Kory was more conservative, he stayed back a bit. I ran a really good pace with Jeff Shadley and we were in 8th and 9th position.  After 10 miles he started pulling me which i didnt mind, my goal was to push myself at all cost to stay with them and see what i could do. I made it to mile 13.1 in 1:17 which is what we were hoping for. I really had to find a porta potti after that and at mile 14 there was one. one of the volunteers were in it and i patiently and loudly waited. I got in and by the time i was out, Kory had passed with a good 200 meter lead. I then wanted to catch him and try running with him to catch Jeff but I think Kory heard my plan and took off! He is an amazing finisher! I found myself alone and tried sticking to pushing myself but with a flu that came on me on Wednesday and Ogden that i felt in my legs still I was doomed.At mile 18 I saw Steve Ashbaker and he had dropped out which put me in 9th place.  Miles 20-23 were horrid and lonely and hard for me. I grinded it out and at mile 25 I was passed and then threw up for a few seconds and then pushed out and tried getting going again. Kelli Stephenson was running back my direction and picked me up and paced me the last mile in which is what i needed. I had to stop a couple of times, one was I thought i was going to hurl and the other I was dizzy! Made it in and I was really out of it for 5 minutes. I got my bearings back and everything was fine. Not my fastest race but a great forced run to add to my resume.
