Beautiful day for a race. I just wanted to get some good speed but stay within my own ability. My splits were

1st mile 5:17  Goal was 5:15

2nd mile 5:32  Goal was 5:30

3rd mile 6:02  Goal was 5:30

1/10 mile 0:28   Goal was  0:30

Had trouble getting enough air up the last mile hill. Still had my best time at Freedom Festival. I have run it 4 times. I am proud to say, for Bills sake, that everyone that finished ahead of me was young enough to be my child. oops one exception a 29 year old.

Karl and Hayden did great. Karl took 2nd over-all in the 5K, Hayden took 4th over-all in the 10K. There was lots of good competition.

Im anxious to get back to marathon training.

Easy recovery day for me. 8.07 mi. at 6:41 ave. I ran here in Payson up by West Mtn. I am feeling pumped about getting into next weeks running. I watched the 3000m Steeplechase on the Olympic trials today. I'm always amazed at the pace those guys set.

Had a good long run from just above Veyo. I ran alone and just let my body stay at an equal effort through the whole run. I'm pleased with the time. This finishes up a 90 mile week for me. 21.64 mi. 6:18 ave. My fitness is coming along and I feel confident about a good marathon.

I'm embarrassed to say that I only ran 3 on the treadmill this morning. Just didn't feel it. Shoot me!!

Ran negative split mile repeats. Increasing speed every quarter. 7:00, 6:45, 6:30, 6:15. Then the last mile was 6:45, 6:30, 6:15, 5:30. I feel better tonight.

Felt sick, but ran anyway. We had a huge race to time so my mind was really on that. 1100 runners in the 5k and Half combined. 20 seconds slower than last year, but really never got into race mode. Finished at a pace I could have held for another 20 miles.

Kathy and I took a cruise. I ran 7 miles on the treadmill and 8 miles around the ship on the running deck. What a blast!!! Cool ocean breeze and soft track to run on. I could live like that.
