That's my son and I in the picture at the 2007 Buffalo Run. He's always a big help and a pretty cool kid.
I direct the Antelope Island Buffalo Run, the Mountain View Trail Half Marathon, and the Antelope Island 50K/100K, all on Antelope Island State Park. The website is www.buffalorun.org

Every once in awhile I need to run a 5K just to remind me how much I hate running 5K's. Today was one of those days. Hilly course but at least it was warmer than the last time I ran it two years ago. No ice. I also ran about 30 seconds faster and felt much better than the last time I ran it. Overall, I'm fairly pleased with my time.
I actually got a late start and for the first couple hundred yards I was behind the police car that was bringing up the rear. Guess I didn't leave the house soon enough. So I had to plow my way through about 300 runners to get up to my 99th place finish. Probably would have had a better time if I had been there for the start. Oh well. Next time I'll leave the house sooner. | | Add Comment |

Second race in the series. Thiss time I managed to get to the race on time and start with everyone else. Tough course. Couple of short but steep hills. Some longer grinds as well. Espcially between 4.5-5.5 miles.
Splits
Mile 1 - 7:44 uphill start
Mile 2 - 6:59
Mile 3 - 7:39
Mile 4 - 7:55
Mile 5 - 8:50 start of the grinding uphill
Mile 6 - 8:47 still going uphill
Mile 6.2 - 1:33 (6:51 pace)
I'll take it. Moved up 20 places from the 5K with the same number of runners (393 total). Moved up a couple of spots in my age group as well. Not my fastest time, not my slowest. I think I was well over 50 minutes two years ago on this same course. | | Add Comment |

Ok, so I ran to work this morning. Haven't done that in quite awhile. Not a big fan of it since it's roads and much of the way there is no sidewalk or other means of avoiding traffic. Even at 5am it's busy in places. Still, I'd rather run to work than run home. Much busier in the afternoon and people pay even less attention to pedestrians. The afternoon run will consist of running to the train station and taking the train up to Ogden, then running home. About half the running distance of the morning run. Hoping to start running in at least one day a week, possibly two. It is a good way to bump up to some serious mileage when I combine it with a long run on the weekend.
The run home pretty good. Total time was 3:10 for both directions. | | Comments(4) |
