Went with Mandi down to Bryce and took the pace crew with. Loved this race as always. Got the pacers all organized, did a warmup with Bethany and then took off! I was tired from doing a long run a couple days previous. Couldn't get my legs to turn over like I always seem to do on the downhill. Had fun and ended up with 100 bucks. So was worth it. Hiked with Mandi and her boys and Bethany and her family after in Queens garden.

A fun little 5k with 100 or so people but you should see the prizes they handed out! A treadmill, a camp chef stove and free wave runner rental for the summer! Seriously huge for a little turnout. I went and stayed the night with Mandy and Kim and we all ran it. We did a warmup and Mandy told me about a real cocky kid who cut the course to beat Brett on a previous race. So I had it in my mind I'd take off super fast because the first mile was downhill. I wore him out. But the second mile was all uphill and I started fading a bit but stayed ahead enough to tire him out. My plan worked to wear him out because I was trying to get Mandy to beat him. He barely stayed ahead of her by a few seconds. After the race Kim drove Mandy and I up Logan canyon and we ran 12 miles down. Very narrow road but nice to see Mandy kicking butt again. She ran her last two miles in 6:30 pace.

Wasn't sure I was going to run this race at all with work the way it's been lately. I went to packet pickup and Steve Anderson and I switched ideas of running together or seperate races. I signed up for the 10k because I thought he was running it then I saw he had a half bib so I went to switch it to the half and he pulled me away from the table. So I ended up with the 10k. I got to the start and saw a few friends and talked to Rory, a student I coached at Herriman. I to was fun to race him! I have no chance against him anymore. I did beat him the last two years. Great to see progress. I started out with the pack.  It's such a fast downhill start. Mile 1 was 4:46. Mile 2 was 4:50, 3 was 5:05. First water break was very much needed. My mouth was so dry.  I had a hard time with the last three. Survival mode on the last mile that goes uphill. Not fair. Lol had fun seeing others and hung out with Leslie after and talked with Lindsey Dunkley who seriously needs to run a marathon and qualify for the Olympic trials. I will keep bugging her  till she gives in.
