12 mile with Allie and Josh around Sugarhouse. Maybe 1 mile of "trail' running (river crossings, single track, mud, dirt, rocks, etc.) and ended running through the SHTunnel. Action packed for a 12 miler.

After the run did a couple of crosstraining miles and stretching at the gym.

Through Millcreek and around Olympus. My power was out when I returned which meant my car was locked in the garage.  The work gods turned it back on right when I got out of the shower so I wasn't late.

PM: boot camp (burpees, circuits, lunges, situps, pushups)

The last time I ran this race my last mile was around a 5:30 so my main goal was avoiding doing that again. :) Warmed up on the course with Josh and got to the start line with 5 minutes to spare.  I went out with the leaders (Steve, Teren, Jason and Nate) and fortunately the pace felt manageable. Went through mile 1 in 4:59 then Jason pulled ahead on the downhill. Mile 2 was 4:55 and I was still feeling ok but definitely slowing as the course flattened. Nate passed me at about mile 2.25 and I didn't have enough to catch back up. Finished mile 3 in around 5:18 which wasn't ideal but at least it didn't feel like I had to kill myself to do it.  While I hate 5Ks I know they are good for me so I am glad I did it. This should be a good last tune up for Desnews!
