Ran with Josh and Collin from Liberty through Sugar House. Ended with a couple of laps of the park and then a couple stairmaster miles at the gym. Didn't feel great but could have been worse.

Ran through the neighborhoods, around the Circle of Hope at Huntsman, and back down 2100 East. One of these days I will run south of 2100 S to avoid the traffic.

PM: bootcamp- 100 stepovers and lunges each leg, situps, planks, dips, curls, dumbell rows, 1 circuit and several laps in the parking lot

This was my first race since CIM in December so I didn't really know what to expect. I drove up with Josh and did a 1.5 mile warm up with Seth and Bryant. During the warm up I also saw Scott, Ben, Jason, Jace and Nate so I knew it would be a competitive race. Started out in front with Scott and we ran together for about the first four miles until we came out of the canyon. Ben, Seth and Bryant then caught up to us and we worked together through about the half way point. I dropped back a bit because the legs were starting to fatigue and I still had 6 more miles. Thoughts of, "why am I doing this" started creaping in.  I took a gu at mile 8 and I started feeling a bit better. Jace passed me at about mile 11 and went on to pass Seth and Ben. He ran a great race but the story of the day, which I didn't get to see obviously, was Scott out sprinting Bryant to take the win in his FIRST race in the masters division. He showed us young guys how to get it done. Cooled down with Scott and Josh for another 6.5 then caught up with Spencer, Ben, et al. at the finish. Despite those dreary moments in the middle I think I will run again tomorrow.

It's my grandmas 93rd birthday today so I will need to write more later.
