I woke up really early this morning (4:30) in order to get my run in.  Katey was doing a sprint triathlon in American Fork so I had to get the run done really early.  I did my North Ogden rolling hills out and back route.  The weather was so nice.  It was 46 degrees at 5:00 in the morning!  I kept the pace nice and steady throughout the entire run.  It was slightly windy but that is okay.  I had to stop and deal with 2 potty breaks.  It was not fun!  I survived the run and ended up doing 22 miles at 6:37/mile overall.  It was nice and relaxed today but I am happy to be done for the week.  I will taper a little bit next week in order to really go for a good PR next week at the Striders Half.  My body told me I need to taper a little bit for next week.

Katey did awesome at the mini triathlon.  It was a 5k run, 11 mile bike ride, and 300 meter swim.  They did it backwards and did the run first and swim last due to the colder weather.  She finished and I really enjoyed watching her.  I saw Walter who ended up doing really well and I think placed in the top 5.

I was looking forward to hanging out today at and after the meet. I didn't realize you were down in my area though. You should have called and we could have done lunch or something.

Good week. Now the taper will feel nice and refreshing. Good job to Katey too.
