Met the BBK's at Mike and Peggy's house.  I wasn't feeling 100% but I really wanted to get this run in.  I felt okay the first 8 miles.  The next 3 miles were slow and miserable.  I took nyquil sinus the night before.  Not a good idea. Average pace was 9:13.

I was really looking forward to running with the BBK's today.  I accidentally set my alarm for an hour late and I missed them.  I was so bummed.  I ran 6 boring miles on the treadmill while watching The Brave One.  Spent the day painting my sons room.

3 easy treadmill miles.  Had a fun evening with some of the BBK girls last night for my b-day.  We need to do that more often.

Met the BBK's at a church on 10200 S. and 3200 W.  It was only 20 degrees but not windy.  I never felt too cold.  Average pace 8:30.  It felt really fast today but it was a great run.  I havn't had a diet Pepsi in 3 weeks, but I think I will need one today.  I'm pooped.

Easy treadmill miles.  Nothing exciting.  I watched the last hour of Seven Pounds.  Now I have to get the movie so I can watch the first half.

Michelle, CJ and I shuttled over to the rodeo grounds where we met up with a large group of BBK runners today.  We ran most of the Riverton 1/2 course just changing it a bit at the end.  It was a nice morning.  There were a few places on the trail with ice and snow.  It was nice comfortable pace.

I did the Boston simulator run on the treadmill.  I love this workout.  It always kicks my butt. 

I stayed home from work with Austin again.  The kids and I are going to the fire station today for the last time.

Met the BBK's at the church on 10200 S. and 40th W.  Jerry came along again.  There was a small amount of snow on the ground.  The weather was great - 30 degrees and no wind.  We kept a pretty good pace considering we run up some big hills.  Average pace 8:54.

Today is my 18th wedding anniversary. 

I met Michelle down at Bluffdale end of the trail.  We ran 10 miles together.  The company was great.  Then I ran 3 more miles on my own.  The last 3 miles felt much harder than they should have.  Average pace 9:33.

Jerry and I met the BBK's up in the Daybreak area.  Lots of hills.  It was a good run.  We did get pelted in the face by snow a bit at the end.  Average pace 8:57.

Race: St. George 1/2 Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:45:33, Place in age division: 17

Eight of us drove down together and stayed a very nice house in St. George.  We ate dinner at the Pizza Factory and then picked up our packets.  I shared a room with Michelle N.(Shimelle).  It was so fun.  We stayed up until 12:30 a.m. talking.

Race morning:  We got up at 7:30, got ready and headed over to the race.  I started with Jody, Cheris, Michelle M., and Dean.  Peggy found us about 1 mile in.  Our plan was to start slow and gradually get faster as we went.  It was great running as a group.  It was a lot like our Boston Marathon.  The miles flew by.   I felt good the whole time.  I drank Gatorade at the first 2 stops and had a GU just before mile 8. 

My splits were 8:50, 8:33, 8:27, 8:27, 8:02, 7:51, 7:51, 7:57, 7:50, 7:36, 7:55, 7:39, 7:52, and a 6:09 pace for the final .1.  Average pace 8:04.
