I ran the Spectrum 10K this morning down in St George, it was a beautiful morning and conditions were perfect. I warmed up for about 10 minutes before the race and then the gun went off.

Mile 1. 6:39 Way to fast and I do this every year...

Mile 2. 7:04 this is more like it. Feeling okay.

Mile 3. 7:00 Good.

Mile 4.7:13 I was starting to have stomach issues here, I have had a cold and my legs were feeling a little rubbery, having a hard time breathing too. A little up hill on this mile.

Mile 5. 7:28 I really died here for some reason, I couldn't work through the stomach issues and my lungs just couldn't get enough air.

Mile 6 7:43 I'm really dissapointed with this mile, I was not feeling good, this mile cost me a 10K PR.

.20 7:13 Recovered a little bit here but not enough.

I feel okay with the overall race considering I was in bed on Sunday and not feeling well, I need to get more consistant with my training and re-dedicate myself.

Course PR buy about 30 Seconds. I'll take even though I died towards the end.

Average Pace was 7:11 according to my watch.

See ya monday.
