3 miles this morning.

6 miles this afternoon with the boys while they did their Michigan workout. I was very impressed with them. They did a really great job.

5 miles early this afternoon with some of the girls plus 4 x :20 sec. strides. It was a long day at work so when I got home I went out for a long 13+ mile run. It was nice to run at night and not worry about pace or anything else for that matter. I was pretty tired at the end but I am glad I went. It was nice to get out later in the day while it was cool.

I am home alone this weekend so I decided to hop in a local 5k in Santa Clara to support those affected by the flood. 

I warmed up from my house to the city offices. I needed a VRPB before the race started. I knew going into the race I would be lucky to hang with Hayden Hawks (runs at SUU) and Tommy Ingalls (Snow Canyon's top runner). I wanted to hit 16:30 and call it a day. The race started and I settled into 3rd place fairly comfortable. I could see Hayden and Tommy just in front of me. I was only about 15 to 20 seconds back from them. I don't wear my glasses when I run and I wish I did today. I was about 2 miles in and I was supposed to take a side street but ended up running all the way to the light. I knew when I got there I was going to be longer than 5k. For some reason I get lost in races. Just ask Paul Petersen about Top of Utah Half for 2007.

I made my way back on the course and saw the 4th place guy who was behind me the entire race. I was not going to let him beat me when I knew I ran longer than he did. I blew by him and ended up finished in 3rd with a time of 17:11. I ran .15 extra for this race. I was just under 16:30 for 5k on my watch. Bummer!

Decent race. I am not in racing shape at all but I know this next year is going to be whatever with the running due to graduate school and how time consuming it is.

I am going to pace Dave for the second half of the marathon next week so that should be fun. Still running but not stressing about it right now.
