I got up this morning at 7:00 and my body felt tired and sore.  I laid back down for another hour and when I got up I felt totally fine.  Weird.  Anyway, I ran 4.5 very easy miles on the treadmill.

I had a class start at work so I wasn't able to work run before.  I tried running on the treadmill when I got home, but after working 11+ hours I was beat.

Met the group at the church on 40th . and 10200 S.  The race is Saturday so I just kept it at a steady conversational pace.

My class had a PT test at 7:00 so I ran from home at 5:00.  It had stopped raining, but there was a lot of lightning close by.  It was a little scary. Average pace 9:11

Cheris and I decided to drive to Salem Hills the night before and stay overnight at her cousin Amber's house.  We got up at 4:15 am and headed over to Payson high school.  The weather was perfect.  I did my usual my pre-race routine of banana, white bagel and Immodium.  Once again it worked out well for me. My goal for this race was to run a 1:30.  The last 3-4 miles were hard.  There were a few times during those last miles that I worried I may have gone out too fast.  I'm very happy with how it turned out.  Cheris ran an awesome race and ended up taking 1st place for the women with a 1:22.  I'm so happy for her.

My splits on my Garmin were .10 early for every mile marker.  I ended up with 13.21 miles.  The placement of the aid stations were a little off from where I thought they would be.  I had Gu at mile 4 but no water until about 4.8.  Then I had my second Gu at about mile 10 but they didn't have any cups so I didn't have any water to wash it down.  I was hoping to take my Ibuprofen at mile 10, but I wasn't able to.  

6:54, 6:40, 6:34, 6:23, 6:29, 6:33, 6:35, 6:48, 6:45, 7:10, 7:42, 7:21, 7:26, and 6:54 pace for last .2 on the track.
