| 11 Miles @ 9:30ish pace. Was in St George to support a brother and friends in IRONMAN Utah 70.3 and ran from Telegraph Road in Washington to John Boy's house in St George. Had plenty of hills in there and warm temps in the 80s. Was glad that my ankle did not bother much at all during or after the run. I'm sure it is partly attributable to my super easy pace.

Ogden Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:46:55, Place overall: 366, Place in age division: 19 | | Easy Miles | Threshold Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Track speed mileage | Hill mileage | Total | | 0.00 | 0.00 | 13.10 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 13.10 |
| 13.1 Mile at 8:10/mi pace. Beautful course - lots of rain. Rained from start to finish and temps were in the upper 40s-low 50s.
Mile splits (by my watch) were as follows: 8:52, 8:03, 8:14, 8:13, 8:11, 8:11, 8:21, 8:04, 8:09, 7:44, 7:49, 8:04, 8:00, 0:56
Felt great throughout the race. Ran a negative split and realized at the end that I could have pushed harder throughout. I started the race too deep in the pack crossing the start line seven minutes after the gun. I feel like I ran an extra two tenths in the first few miles zig-zagging just to get around all of the people. I also could have trimmed 15-20 seconds per mile for the last two miles while being held up on the narrow walking/hiking trail part of the course. There were about 3-4 others that were running together with me from about mile 3 forward. I was tracking them till about mile 9 and leading them and trading off the lead with them for the last few miles. Two of us crossed the line together in a sprint and the other two crossed within 20 seconds of us. Two of the others were girls in their mid to late 20s and the guy was probably in his early 30s. It provided a good bit of fun competition during the race and prompted me to shorten and/or skip several water stops. I stopped for 2 and a half water stops (1/2 meaning that I ran on the outside of the "chute" and grabbed a powerade and took only one gulp. I only walked a handful of steps through one other water stop and did not walk but merely slowed down for the other stop.
I felt strong at the end and pushed pretty hard for the last few miles even though the last 2.5 miles were flat. It was awesome running right by the new Ogden temple in the last mile of the race.
Was #19 of 109 in my age group, #366 of 3813 overall and #248 of 1336 men. So that means top 20% for age group and gender and top 10% overall. Easily my best placing in several years - also my best training in several years. One of the sad truths about this race is that it is one of the first races in a long time in which I have felt fully trained upon starting the race. I ran fully within myself and could have pushed harder and will push harder at later races in the season.
Merely placing myself at a better starting position at the lineup would have gained me 2 and 1/2 minutes putting me at #184 in my gender #260 overall and #14 in my age division.

| 3.5 miles @ 10:00ish /mi pace. Murdock trail north solo.
Started raining while running which normally doesn't bother me too much, but I had Dash, recently returned from the groomer, and I didn't want to get him dirty so we turned around early.

| 10 miles @ 7:55/mi from the top of South Fork Canyon (Trefoil) down to the mouth of hte canyon. started out pretty fast @ roughly 7:15-7:30 pace for a couple of miles. I wasn't feeling great and pulled back on the pace and let Paul go on ahead. I felt stronger the more I ran and after a couple of slow 9:15 miles picked up the pace to sub 8:00 pace. Caught Paul about a half mile from the end and raced him in to the finish.
Overall felt good excepting those few miles near the start. I was very tired to start off and am at the front end of a cold. I considered not running but knew I needed this run more than I needed the mid-week shorter runs.
