Did a small 5k at Sugarhouse Park for my friends charity this morning with the family.  Warmed up for about a mile prior to the race.  Like I said, this was a real small race with only about 50 runners or so.  Not a ton of competitive runners, given the fact that I won the race proves this.  Probably the only race I will win in my life.  Anyways, used it as a good workout.  Ran the 5k alone the whole time.  Splits were 6:02, 6:21, 6:06 and :21.  Happy overall as wanted to run sub 19.  Haven't done many 5k's so this was good to see where I was at.  Would have liked the 2nd mile to be a little faster though.  After, ran the kids 1k with my boys.  Then did 7 miles around Sugarhouse Park with average pace of 7:18.

2 easy miles this morning with a couple short pick ups. Utah Valley half tommorow. Not sure what to expect, haven't had great runs the past little while. But will hope for the best.

Overall, I am happy with race.  My runs havent felt great the past couple of weeks, so I didn't know what to expect coming in.  Was hoping to run in the low 1:20's.  Ended up at 1:23:07, 6:21 average, which is a half marathon PR for me by about 15 seconds and 4 minutes faster than when I ran this race 2 years ago.  Temperatures were great for the race.  There was some head wind as we came down the canyon, which probably slowed times a little for everyone.  Probably could have pushed it a little more down the canyon as I felt better than usual the last couple miles and had my fastest mile at mile 12.  Just have to continue to build on this.

Splits:

1- 6:08

2- 6:23

3- 6:30 (uphill part of the mile)

4- 6:30 (uphill part of the mile)

5 & 6- 12:50 (6:25 average, my watch lost satellite coverage so times got message up and had to do manual laps)

7- 6:12

8- 6:22 (out of the canyon)

9- 6:20

10- 6:21

11- 6:18

12- 6:06

13- 6:13

0.1- 0:49

13 miles @ 7:30 pace on TM. Did this at 3:45 am after being up all night on call. Probably not the best idea.
