This was a 5k charity race for Nate Houle, a running acquaintance of
mine since I moved to Utah in 06. He came down with a nasty cancer and
it was good to see the community support him.
Race was
stacked with all the SUU/UVU kids who just got back from regionals
yesterday night. Some ran hard and some jogged it. A number of BYU
alums showed up too including Rex Shields and Taylor Farnsworth. Local
HS runners had a great showing as well. Course was good, it was just
freezing cold.
Coming into the race, I had low expectations and
didn't plan on being able to run much faster than 16:30 due to the lack
of training since the last marathon. Ended up just trailing off the
lead pack and running with BJ Christensen for a while and my old team
mate Jason Lynch. Ended up running 15:52 which is the fastest 5k I've
had all year. I love the heavy competition even if I'm not in the best
of shape. Running this made me hungry to lower my 5k PR again which I
might have to take a crack at next spring/summer.
Trying to
figure out training cycles and plans for the late spring/summer and
without those in order, it's hard to stay motivated. Hoping to solidify
some stuff this weekend and next week.
