It was supposed to be a 5 mile run at a 9 minute or slower pace.  :|

Keys to success (yes, I'm calling this a success because I came in under 4 hours):

  • Good luck.  With the weather and the house remodel, training hasn't been all that great.
  • No potty breaks of significance and only one of the insignificant variety.  I love it when that happens!
  • Only two splits over 9:30!  One of them was going up the hill at mile 14 (10:52)--I was trying to be conservative given my poor training. The other was a fluke--9:45 at mile 20 in the middle of Ogden Canyon?  What's up with that?
  • The rest of the splits were fairly consistent. Except for a few in Ogden Canyon.  Again--what's up with that?
  • True grit.  Actually, I don't know--I've just always wanted to say that.
All in all, it was a good day.  Got to see lots of my good running buddies and I came away having gotten (or given) hugs from (or to) many.
