The ISU Wellness Center race which is considered an unofficial 10k race took place today, and it wasn't much of a challenge. The course is marked correctly, but it's unofficial because they don't keep the time you have to yourself. My Garmin was my time clock. I won the race with a time of 36:20. There really was no one to push me so I didn't really push the uphills hard. There was one runner with me till mile two, and I could tell he pushed the first mile to hard. Because I tried talking to him and he was breathing real hard so I knew it was a matter of time I would be way out in front. But I didn't think it would happen in the third mile that I would be way alone. But I did push the downhill in the last mile treating it as a hill repeat. I think I might have been able to shave a minute off this time if I pushed harder, but I'll never know. Afterwards I ate a powerbar and I was off to Idaho falls to take my daughter to her soccer games (11 years old). She ran the 5k race at 27:10 and finished first in her age. My 7 year old did the 5k walk and did very well. I've also got her running, but I would rather run with her at her age in a race like this. My wife ran the 5k race too with a major headache and not feeling very good so she slowed way down, and she would kill me if I posted her time. Forgot 2.8 mile run tonight.
