Today i ran the Mesquite  10 mile.   The people that organized it were not to good.  We waited a good  half hour just to pick up our number and chip.      They drove us out into the desert on a bus.  I felt like a troubled youth going out to the desert to spend some hard time.   When we arrived at the starting line.  I took  my  usual warm up jog and sized up the competition.  Oh crap Steve Olsen!    I Did not recognize  any one else that i thought would give me a go for my money.  I did see Toby and his wife who were not running this day.    I started out  fine,  But i missed the first mile marker,  then decided  not to worry about the splits.   first ten k was fine    39.38.   legs a little tired.  Hit a hill at mile 7 and some 20 year old from salt lake cought me.   I draged behind hind him  the rest of the way.     Toby  paced me for about a mile on mile 8 up a hill.  toward the end.   I almost cought the guy ahead of me.   if the hill were just a little longer i would of over taken him.       Ended up    107.45      I will take the time.  The guy that won the race. was from Indiana  he came in at around 53.    I came in 10th over all.   2an in division.    I am not use to getting second.   Booo.     THE SHOES FROM THE  ST. GEORGE RUNNING CENTER   really helped.
