Woke up way ealy at 3:30am after being in Logan all night and getting home at 11:00pm!  I was pissed because there was no reason to be there that early!  And then we waited for 1.5 hours for buses that never came to get us.  Finally Greg and I hitched a ride with Mike Powell and his wife and drove up.  Got warmed up for a mile before. 

Greg and I ran together for the first 9.5 miles.  We were in 11 and 12 at one point but kept moving up on people.   I felt ok, but didn't take anything but a little water because of stomach issues.  Greg took off to catch 3 and 4 at 9.5 and my fitness wasn't good enough to go with him.  He pulled about 30 seconds ahead and I kept my pace.  I caught 4 which was then 5 but couldn't gain on the other guy.  Ended up 5th place and 1st in the age, Greg was 3rd.  Happy with it though.  

Cooled down a mile with Greg after.  Legs are completely shot!  

Need a nap and a long weekend now!

Jenny Petersen was there and ran awesome!  Place place and under 1:21:00!

Was sore and at the cabin all weekend.  Got home from Idaho, changed, and headed down to Mona to run with Dad and Josiah.  We had Carly run us up to Bear Canyon and we ran down home.  I stayed with my Dad, other than a quick potty break, until 5.5 miles and then took off to catch Josiah.  I was still pretty sore and it took a while to get the legs and achilles moving.  I caught Josiah at mile 8 and ran home on my own.  Stopped in Nephi and got a drink and took a GU.  I got home just before dark and did another mile to make 20 miles.  I thought Josiah would be close, but he was clear back with Dad.  Dad was around 3:00 and Josiah about 2:50 for 19 miles.  I finished the 20 miles in 2:26:25 (7:18 ave).  Glad to get the first long run under my belt and glad I felt ok.  Mile 5-10 were all sub 7:00 and most after that were 7:00-7:13 accept mile 17 and 18 coming up Burraston's hill 7:31 and 7:32.

Went down to Mona to go on the Father and sons with my son, Dad, and little brother.  We drove up to where we were camping and left my car in Nephi.  We ran from Bear Canyon down to Nephi.  Josiah followed me the first mile at 6:31 pace and then I started pushing and never saw him again.  I stayed about 6:05 ave the whole way, and I was trying to stay under 6:10.  I thought I might peter off, but I was tougher than I thought and stayed consistent even when the traffiic and rollers.  6:31, 5:47, 5:54, 5:57, 6:05, 6:05, 6:12, 6:03,5:56, 5:53, 6:06, 6:09.  1:12:43, 6:04 ave.

I needed this run to give me a little confidene since my workouts have been none and my fitness has been weak.  Last big run before St. Gearge!  Josiah ended up way back at 1:43 almost 1:44 and my Dad was 1:56
