Rusty Run 5k

This was more of a Charity run 5k then a race for me but I thought I would blog about it. Oh and it was 2 weekd a go. I woke up super early and started from my house to get to UVU to the race. It was a 10 mile warm-up @6:16/mile pace then averaged 6:02 in the race and finished 2nd. Didn't have enough in the tank to go catch the guy in front of me. Plus it doesn't help when they tell you to go the other way and the guy in the lead goes the shorter route, oh well it was for charity. The race was in the halls of UVU's campus. I did make one last final move with a half mile to go then they led me wrong again so the last quarter mile I turned off the burners and cruised in for second place. They raised $6,000 for and adjunct professor in the Exercise Science program that had a heart attack and is taking along time to recover from. Glad to be in a race to help someone. Oh and I did the course again to get the miles in for my Saturday long run. They served us breakfast so I had a good recovery meal after the long run/race. Then went over to the high school meet and bummed a ride home from Brett.
