Carpooled up with Lisa, a friend from High School to Weber State college. Warmed up 2 miles and then did the first race of 5. The 5k. On the dreaded hill. Mile 1 was a 5:43, 2 was 6:03, 3 was 5:36 and my watch hit .13 for the last in :47 seconds. It was a little wet mostly on the ground and I had a hard time breathing. I really hate 5k's I never have been good at them. I need to do more tempo runs and speed workouts for sure. Its funny because I did a 5:30 pace on the Oval a couple weeks ago. This overall pace was 5:47.  It was good catching up with Lisa. 20 years since high school and not a lot has happened. lol

Nice race, you beat last years time by a few seconds.

From Walter on Sat, Feb 06, 2010 at 15:11:08 from 24.10.169.110

Jeff, Im no good at 5k races. I never have really trained for them.

Matt, I guess a few seconds is better than nada huh? that course is just a swear word! lol Hopefully I can get some speed this year.

Walter: I'm not a 5k person either! I prefer the Half Marathon or even Marathon over a 5k...my body likes the slow long torture. :) You know the air quality has been BAD lately here in Utah....could affect your breathing...and....I would love love love to run that freaking fast for a 5k. Maybe I Need to stop eating Twinkies and Lose 15 pounds..lol. :)

From Burt on Sat, Feb 06, 2010 at 21:27:53 from 98.177.216.165

Nice job sir.

From Andy on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 00:38:16 from 198.60.114.178

Well done. That is a beast of a course.

From Ashbaker on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 12:04:24 from 64.134.17.206

Walter, Is that the same course as in previous years? If so it's kind of a mean course. I looked at the elevation profile and it looks as if the first two miles could really take the zing out of the legs.

From Walter on Sun, Feb 07, 2010 at 23:53:25 from 24.10.169.110

Missy, I cant stand Twinkies but would rather eat one then run a 5k. lol

Burt, thanks my friend.

Andy, yes it is!

Steve, I saw you running by my job site that was right by Flat Iron Mesa Park. Its on Mesa Dr. and I waved to you as I was driving but you were deep in runners thought. Yes, the first 3 races of this series are freakin mountain runs. Good to get my year started off right. lol

From Burt on Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 08:32:05 from 98.177.216.165

I love Twinkies. He's on my favorite blogs list.

From Jon on Mon, Feb 08, 2010 at 14:10:29 from 75.169.137.116

Hey, good job, buddy!

From Walter on Tue, Feb 09, 2010 at 00:38:13 from 24.10.169.110

Burt, thats right! Sorry Twinkies! no offense!

Jon, how did your race go?

From missy on Tue, Feb 09, 2010 at 15:11:42 from 71.32.195.43

I actually don't eat real Twinkies..They gross me out badly! Too many chemicals! :D
