I ran at 5:30 AM this morning on the parkway trail with Misty, Danielle, and Charity.  I felt pretty good and was running about a 8:30 mile until the last mile I did a 6:00 even mile.  It was rather humid this morning and when the sun came up it was better.

I did a speed workout this morning with Trick and Misty. I did 4x200's and 4x400's and 1x800. I did 42's on my 200s and 1:17 on my 400's, and 2:35 on the 800. I have a headache from lack of water yesterday. Ive got to carry water with me at all times at work. Im too dang skinny and have no reserve to help me through the day. I warmed up with 2 miles and finished with a 1 mile cool down.

I did a nice 10 mile run this morning on the hot blacktop in south jordan.  I went down to redwood road and then up to daybreak around and back home. My average mile was 7:11 and there was about 3 miles of steady hill climb.

I ran a 2 mile warmup with Paul, Jon, and Cody and I didnt really feel like running.  I can usually get my mind set to feeling like racing even when Im sick.  I started the race a bit fast but felt good and in control.  There was 2 young kids ahead of me and they were running about a 5:10 pace and I wasnt sure if they were running the 5k or 10k so I kept myself close to them in case they passed the turn around point for the 5k.  Sure enough they did and I found myself all by myself and in a head wind.  My times after that suffered a bit from boredom and wind. I hate wind.  It wasnt too bad but enough to slow me to a 5:55 pace.   After the turn around I saw Jon and Paul side by side and they were about 200 yards behind me I was expecting a barrage of apples from them but luckily there wasnt any trees along the way.   I felt good on the turn around with a bit of wind to my back but it wasnt enough to feel a great push.  I made it to mile 4 1/2 and Jon caught me and passed me  and then came the down hill which he is so good at.  I told myself to try and stay with him and I tried my darndest and after that came a quick steep uphill and I started to close on him but by the time I hit the top it flattened out and he took off.  I couldnt close the gap and every surge I had he had also so I finished barely ahead of Paul for 2nd place.  I really wanted to try and hit a 5 minute mile on one of my miles but I was too tired.  I rested too long on my camp trip and it showed.  My miles were  1)5.20, 2)5.57, 3.1)(actually was 1.1 miles) 6.06, 4.2)(actually 1.1 again) 6.01, 5.2)5.46, 6.2)5.38
