Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there.

9 miles around Sugar House then 2 on the treadmill.  The guy at the 13th S. 15th E. doesn't like that I run through his intersection without his assistance.

Motivation to run was about 65% today so I needed the treadmill to get me going.  6:40ish pace ending with a quick mile.

Ran up through Tanner Park to the mouth of Millcreek Canyon and back.  Average 7 min pace up and 6 min down.  My downhill running needs some work.

7 miles in San Diego.  How boring would it be to have 70 degree and sunny weather every day?

Dismal day at the Law Day Run 5k.  Manning Curtis Bradshaw & Bednar's 10 year winning streak of the 5 team speed competition is over.  And coincidentally, or not, I was on the losing team that ended the streak.  Sorry Chad for letting you and your law firm down and for also interrupting you before you finished the race.  The only bright side of the finish today is that the plack that shows the history of the winner firm will now have a new name at the bottom.  But of course we hope their one year of glory will only last for a year.

In all the fairness the other team was pretty well set up (Jamal, Teren, Seth, Emily Jameson and one woman who I didn't know).  I think the finishing order of the two teams was Teren, Jamal, Seth, me, Oliver (teammate), Sasha (teammate), Emily Jameson, Emily Bates (teammate), other woman runner (will add name later), and then Lisa Madsen (teammate).  Congrats to the winning team.

My race felt ok considering the relatively hilly course around the U's campus.  First mile I stuck with the 3 leaders and it felt fairly relaxed.  I hung for the next .5 but then they slowly started inching away.  Teren and Jamal got out front after the second climb so I decided to just try to maintain the gap Seth had on me which was a few hundred yards.  I held on ok and finished at around 16:44 which was maybe 20 seconds behind Set and probably 1 minute or more behind Teren.  Jamal probably finished just under 16 in second.  I was happy that I felt quicker on the last down as it will be good prep for Ogden next week.

After the race I ran into the avenues, around the U and over to the East High track with Sasha.  As you might expect from Sasha we stuck in one 2:36 800 meter at the East High track before we headed back to the U.  I also had the great opportunity of listening to Sasha's lessons on life and running and also how I should/could probably getting faster by actually running slower (sometimes).  All in all it was a good time and great last longish run before the big, important race next week.
