Ok Mike here is my race report.

Today was the 30th annual St. george half.

It was a warm wet rainy morning with the wind. I forgot my garmin so do not have any mile splits. I was tight from the beginning and had a hard time warming up. Hamstring and calf were ginving be problems. I got to the race start and Met up With Steve and Steve. Both of them were going to pace Bigfoot to a nice time. I decided to put caution to the wind and go out with them. First mile 6:07 pace. Nice first mile if i were running a 5 k. miles 1-4 were pretty consistant. around mile 7 Mr Decker caught up to me. We exchanged a few nice words and i pushed the pace alittle. He passed me again and i could not hold his pace. 9-11 were fun miles I really slowed down on thease miles and several people passed me. 11-13 i picked up the pace because i did not want the 130:00 pace group to pace me. They were only about 10 seconds behind me. I caught two runners. I estamated i was probably running about 6:40 pace.

Things i learnied. Try not to get caught up in another runners race. Stay more consistant on pace. if i would of went out on 6:40 pace the race would of been better. Take my Garmin next time. It is esyer to keep track of my progress. Do not wear shoes that have holes in the bottom on a wet rainy day! I ended up averaging marathon pace for 3:00 hours.

8 perfect miles under the Dixie sun. I have not been to motivated to get out in the morning this week. Maybe i just need a small break after the race. I felt good enough to get after it for 4 miles along the trail down by the River. Maybe it is time to run with the guys in the morning again. It might help get me going.

I met up with Bigfooot and Mustang at 7.  We drove up the course  and dropped off at mile 20?  ended up being 19 miles up.   starting pace was an easy  lower 7 pace and we ended up picking it up from there.  Are pace raged from 6:45 to 6:07 Pace for most of the run.    This is a good first real long run.  The plan is to go long at least once a week.

Early miles not so easy miles.   I am just trying to get the body use to getting up and going after my 2 week off period.    

9 more miles this afternoon in the nice sun.   Feeling very tight in the lower back and hammy.   Got to get it worked out because it is bugging me big time.

It was Hill Tuesday down on my side of town.  Dark early morning.  Had a good work out and kpt a pretty decent pace most of the way.   My back was feeling a little tight the last mile.

6 nice miles watching the sunset.   3 of them trail running.   you just got to love running at dusk.  It feels like spring is in the air.
