Got to bed after Midnight because of the Twilight meet.   I was on my feet for 7 hours at the meet too, so legs were tired.  I had no real goals other than to run around 1:20:00 and get my first race under belt since St. George.  I went on the bus with Greg.  We warmed up about 1.3 miles.  Nice morning!  I started off with Greg, but he dropped back after a mile.  I lost the people in front of me and was spaced out from the people behind me pretty good.  Ran a tempo run basically the whole race.  At the end I finally came up on two guys that started to race me and I got competitive and beat them in the last .5 miles, so my last mile was actually my fastest at 5:54.  Finishedin 1:20:23 and was the 10th male and first in my age.  Felt good to run, even though I have no speed right now.  Glad to do decent.
