14 miles in the morning. ran up cedar canyon past Milts steak house. ran five miles of tempo coming back down, 5:59, 5:49, 5:51, 5:57, 5:59.

going up the canyon it is always tough to run faster than 8:00 pace. time at 13.1 was 136:45. the down hill is a good prep for bryce.

took 3 GU's on the run. stomach took it really well.

drove over to the bryce canyon half marathon. ran it on about 2.5 hours of sleep. weather was great.

Splits as follows:

mile 1 6:01

mile 2 6:01

mile 3 5:23

mile 4 5:28

mile 5 5:41

mile 6 5:40

mile 7 5:46

mile 8 6:07

mile 9 6:18

mile 10 6:03

mile 11 6:10

mile 12 6:18

mile 13 5:54

.11 mile .31

Total time 1:17:27

This is a new PR for me by 1:12 over last years time on the same course.

i felt like i ran a good race. going into it i felt like i needed to keep my splits a little more even. i struggled at mile 9 but fought through it better than last year. i should have took gu more often and earlier but stomach felt too unsettled. i took very little hydration during the race and only a half a gu at mile 7. i drank like crazy after the race. picked up my medal early and hurried back to the family reunion in pinevalley. Glad a went and ran the race. to be honest i didn't think i had a PR performance in me so i surprised my self.

Ran the Enterprise 10K with several other members of extended family.

I had been sick the day before with a stomach/intestinal bug that has been going around. i ate only a light supper and nothing else the day before the race. i felt pretty good race morning. i felt like i ran a pretty good race all considered, but i struggled the last 1-2 miles. legs just went weak. ran about 20+ seconds slower than last year but they started the race a little farther back than last year but it is still a short 10K. official time was 34:05, i had trouble stopping my watch but i am pretty sure they were at least 5 seconds fast on the official time.

spits as follows last year

mile 1 4:58 5:09

mile 2 5:21 5:25

mile 3 5:34 5:29

mile 4 5:47 5:43

mile 5 5:41 5:42

mile 6 5:59 5:48

.14 :49 .08 :26

7.5 miles in the late afternoon. some of it was on grass. we were staying on a sod farm. the loop around the grass yard at the farm house was just over a half mile, so i ran it several times then hit the pavement for a few more.
