Race: Wellsville Founders Day run (3.1 Miles) 00:18:20, Place overall: 5

I can back to Logan for the weekend and decided to do the popular Founders day run in Wellsville. There is always a good variation of competition here and I looked forward to being pushed after not training much this summer. In years past I've done the 10K on this course but I didn't think that was a good idea with my current fitness. The 5K started by the sound of a cannon and the mass of runners proceeded to an intersection where a right turn was made. I sat at around 10th or 15th and hanged around that lead pack. I saw my old longtime friend Russell running the race at around this point and talked with him for a bit. He was on the cross country team in high school when I first started and was one of my main motivatiors that helped me train for cross country, fitting that I meet him at a time when I need more motivation to run more.

       The course was mostly flat and I proceeded to catch all the people who started out to fast the first mile, most of them high school kids. It started to rain at some point durring the race but I didn't notice until after I finished when I realized I was completely soaked. I'm content with the time I got but I'm interested to see what I could with more consistent training. I am going to try to start and keep a running now in college and hopefully get back into shape. This race gave me a taste of racing and it has left me hungry for more.

Ran to the U of U's track and did a nice workout their, I strated with an 800 warm up followed by 4X400 at R-pace effort, finished by an 800 cooldown. The track was really nice (best I've ever ran on) and  then I ran around campus for some more mileage. First race tomorrow for me in Salt Lake City, hopefully all goes well.

Race: U5K (3.1 Miles) 00:18:11, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 2

My first race in my new home, Salt Lake City! The U was putting on a 5K as one of the homecoming activities. I decided to participate. I was surprised by the huge turnout for the race, bigger than any 5K in Logan.

The race started fast, swoop the hawk sprinted as fast as he could the firs 100 meters and some people decided to chase him. After about 500 meters, swoop was gone, but there was a pack of 5, about 500 meters ahead of me. I tried catching them but they were going the exact same pace I was so I made no progress for the first two miles. At this point, two runners in the group made their move and the others died. I caught two of them quickly, but the thrid placer maintained his speed. Nick (the third placer and a cross country runner from Idaho) kept about 50 meters ahead of me. I got closer at times but also further at times durring the last mile of the race. I ended up never getting him, and finished about 30 seconds behind him.

I'm glad I dropped my time from the Wellsville founders day run. The course was a loop around campus and was pretty hilly and the start and towards the finish. It was all on sidewalk and road. The race was fun and their were alot of prizes, though my bad luck (or Karma) prevented me from winning anything. Either way, I'm satisified with this race and got myself a new running buddy (nick.)
