Ran from my house up to Danielle and ran 6 with her and 2 by myself. I have been sick as a dog but refuse to let it be an excuse for Saturday. I will run as hard as I can regardless.

This is always a great race to run in January!  I have never run a race in my life more sick than I was today.  I coughed the entire night and was very congested with a sinus infection.  I started the race at a very comfortable pace. I was right behind Steve Olson and hit a 5:43 first mile and then all hell broke loose with my pace and breathing and even my legs felt heavy and I was really hot! I had short shorts on and a singlet so I knew I was in trouble I tried to keep under a 6 and it wasnt happening I think Steve Hooper and Craig Green and  a few others passed me at mile 3 as we started up the hill and I was spent. I felt like I would at the end of a marathon. I just kept pushing myself as much as I could and ran this race. I was around a 6:15 pace most the time which im not complaining about. Ive have learned to run according to what my body allows lately and I felt good about my performance. I cant be ashamed of it.  I really enjoy coming here and other places to run a winter race. So awesome.  It was so cool to see and hang out with the team and see their awesome performances.  Way to go St. George Running Center! They do a great job down here. You guys are so lucky to have great weather.  

My friend sent me a text message on my drive home from St. George that I thought would go well with my run down there. Its Mosiah 4:27--For it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength...    

Very fitting!
