Ran 5 miles this morning with the Herriman XC team and did about an 8 pace with Leisl. 

Ran 5 miles tonight with Christa while pushing Boston in the stroller. that was an eventful run! He cried a lot and then fell asleep and then it poured rain on us and woke him up so we ducked under someones front porch and they came out to see what the crap was going on.  It was funny but they were nice to let us stay while the storm passed.

Went up to the buses with James Barnes and 2 of our athletes on the Cross Country team. It was a very unorganized and chaotic start. I started out like I did when I ran Bryce. Sasha and I ran together to take the lead and just before the first mile he and another runner where ahead of me. Mile 1) 5:08, I actually hit a 4:59 on this mile 2 years ago. I was pretty happy with that even though it was slow. Mile 2) 5:11. At this point Sasha surged ahead and had about 20 feet on me.  Mile 3) 5:19. I noticed Sasha fading a bit and I started getting closer to him and then he would surge. Mile 4) 5:11. I was passed by Brian, the coach of West Jordan at this point and he passed me fast but when he got to Sasha he slowed his pace down to run next to him. Mile 5)5:46. Finally got to the bottom to the park trail, i was passed by Justin Park and Sasha was about 200 yards ahead of me at this point.  Mile 6) 5:35. The trail was nice but I liked that down hill road a lot better. I saw Andrea here and wondered if a butt slapping was in order. Sure enough I got a nice smack that had force with a sting. Thats alright, I know I was the envy for shizzle!  lol  Miles 7) 6:02.  Wow, I really didnt plan on this part, It was uphill with a head wind that they changed the course a bit. It really knocked the wind out of me. I then lost time to the leaders on this mile. I could really feel my legs too. I ran 5 miles last night which was starting to show.  Mile 8)6:12.  I was really tired at this point and made a goal to try and push as hard as I could to mile 10.   Mile 9) 5:42.  I made a push this mile and got a good 100 yards on Justin. He was in striking distance again. Mile 10) 5:41. Yeah, i made a goal to push and stuck with it. Now in my mind I thought Id make a goal for a 5k push.  Mile 11) 5:49. I was pleased to be at this point from the way I felt.  Mile 12) 5:57.  A few rollers that grabbed me pretty hard.  13) 5:59. I was happy to be under 6 at this point. I was done! My body was very tired. I could feel the effects from Bryce halfs 1:12 finish in my legs and knew I couldnt repeat that time. 13.1) 1:14:30. Done and 4th place. I ran under James Barnes name so hopefully I put James on the top of the list of people to beat. Dont worry, the race director is the one that set James up for stardom.  It was pretty toasty today and I need to get used to running in the heat.  I wasnt planning on this race till yesterday either. More of an adrenalined packed speed workout.
