Monday - ran 6.5 miles with MR in the 'rump.  We had to stop and walk a few times because I am still fighting a chest cold.  Hope things improve for the weekend.

Tuesday - ran 6.5 miles while MR rode the bike.  I ran the whole time without needing to stop- a huge improvement over yesterday.

Thursday - ran 4.25  in Vegas with MR on a paved wash trail.  Went slow because I didn't want to over do it before the run on Saturday.  It was a nice run out but when we turned around I realized we had been running downhill the whole first half and we had an uphill run ahead of us.  Nice to not have to run on the roads though.  City living at its finest.

Race: St George Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 02:07:00

I really wasn't ready for this race, but I had a chance to get a last minute registration and knew I would be able to see RAD, so why not?

My goal was 10:00 pace- to finish in 2:10.  I had a good strong start trying to catch up to the 2:10 pace group and I let the momentum take me on.  After the downhill mile, my pace slowed down considerably but I was able to finish with a 9:42 pace (according to my garmin).  I haven't checked the official time yet.

When I knew I was close to a 9:40 pace, I really wanted to go faster than 9:40 because I needed to show Burt I was really a winner.  I guess we know who the real winner is, but I'm not admitting defeat yet.

Great time with RAD and crew- we enjoyed lunch, visiting snow canyon, donuts, and pizza.... oh yeah- ice cream shakes too.  Looking forward to more runs out here in the west.
