Here is my racing report.  It was a warm morning on the hill near central.  All the stars were there and the Big guns lined up. Dave, Aaron, Clyde, James, Steve, Logan. Mike and I Agreed to go out together  and take it easy until after Veyo.  1. 6.52  2. 6.44 3. 6.38 4. 6.27 5. 6.29 6. 6.24 7.6.26 8. 7.26  feeling tired.  9. 7.11 pushing up incline 10.7.05 11. 7.22 12. 7.06 13.6.50 14. 7.02 15. 6.50 16.6.29 17.6.48  18.  6.57 19. 7.16  20. 7.16       21. 6.40 22. 7.15  23.6.59  24. 7.08 25. 7.25  26.7.58. 

Looking at this  I lost concentration the last 5 miles.   And this is where I missed my sub three.  

I was  feeling good and let Mike go  around mile 8. I should of stayed with him. he was about 200 yards ahead of me  but I decided to stay behind.  I seen Logan and I wanted to stop and make sure he was ok.  But it looked like he was being taken care of.   Then I ran into Dustin  about a mile before the ledges.  He ran with me for a while until the ledges.  Mike was not to far ahead.    I caught up to Mike on the corner of the Diagonal  He was in pain and was limping!   I felt pretty bad.  I did not want to leave him.  At this point I knew the Sub three was out of range  so I slowed down a little and coasted in.   This is the best time I have had for a couple of years  so I am not to disappointed.  I still think that sub three is in reach.   Thanks to the cheering crowd and my friends.  Mike would have had a 2:57  or less if it were not for his injury.    The man can flat out fly and I am at aw when I think of how much pain he went through to just finish this marathon.

woke up  at  5 am  and went to work with the pretty woman.    nice over cast morning with light rain!   This is the first 12 miler since the marathon.  i felt great.   I ran past The Moving Wall Vietnam Veterans Memorial and stoped to look.  I wept as i read the letters  from the children of the vetrans that died. so many families lost the ones that they loved.   War is terrible and so distructive.  I salute all the Vets,  and pray for all of them that serve our country.    thank you.

my Pretty woman and myself  drove over to the Save a sister 10 k 5k and one mile walk.     I  did not even warm up because  this not about coming in first.   it is about Brest cancer and helping those who go through this.   it  rained all night and it was pretty wet.   Met up with scott and talked with Amber.  Both were running the 5k  thank goodness.  i planned on staying behind the first group of girls the entire race.    I stuck with that plan pretty well.  ended up coming in 3rd overall in men and 5th overall.    This was not an easy course. lots of hills. We ran two 5 k loops.  now its time to get ready for the snow canyon half.   time to reclaim my divison for the rest of the year.

10 tripping miles with little Budda!!   nice trail and road combo run!  nothing fast.    was planning on going 12  but we cutit short!   it was dark at 7 am.  and temps were a perfect 50 degrees.   The Buddah  tripped over a rock and went down pretty hard. But he kept his Elders quarem president composure  and blessed the  rocks ancestors!   We had a good time discussing his next adventure  monday!     I may run again this afternoon  and take the pretty woman on a bike ride.
