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.

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.)
