This morning I had a hard time getting up because I slept so well (8
hours) so I got moving later than normal. I went to bed last night
before 10:30pm after relaxing in our hot tub after watching the Jets
and Chargers game.
I was so cold last night because my daughter's soccer game had
a nasty wind that froze me to the bone standing there. Two of our
parents got kicked out of the game for arguing a call with the
Official. It was a bad call but what was worst was the parents showing
a bad attitude with all our kids watching. The Official wouldn't
restart the game until the two parents got off the field and we lost 7
minutes of playing time, which probably cost my daughter from being in
the playoffs. I stepped back from the sidelines and walked away and
was one of the only parents that wasn't screaming at an official. How
embarrassing for the 12 year old players to see that. My daughter was
proud of me not getting into it. My run this morning was up
Satterfield Rd and I met my good friend Bill Mandler up there
running. He's running SGM as well, and trying for a 3:05.. He just
ran TOU in 3:17. He offered me a ride and to stay with him in his
hotel for two nights in St George, because the other guy that was going
with him tore his MCL. But I want to leave sometime after the race so
that I can be back to Church on Sunday. I don't want to miss Church.
so I will still do my original plan and ride down to Sasha's house on
Friday, and leave with him on Saturday. Then I can drive home from
Provo. It's really almost not worth going down there as fast as I need
to come home. I've almost debated canceling and not going this year.
I have a week to decide and may still cancel. Anyway, back to
the run. Once I crest Satterfield RD I went on the flat part for a
mile doing a little more small hills turning on up streets. Then I
turned around on Satterfield and wanted to go faster how fast well I
really didn't have a plan for today so I just ran by feel. Faster miles Mile 7 - 6:20 which was mostly downhill and I was easing into the pace. Mile 8 - 5:25 part downhill and flat. I said a 4 something in portions of this mile. Mile 9 - 6:00 manily flat. I eased off a bet and did a lot turns in this mile. Mile 10 - 5:59 flat. Just relaxing and it felt good not really trying that hard. Mile 11 - 7:02 nice cool down. Totals 11.24 miles at an overall 6:55 pace in 1:17.
