I ran out to the riverbottoms and tree line road and then while I was down there I did a little two mile loop and then made my way back home. Passed all the Spanish Fork crew, Michelle and McKenzie and Pat Loss and the boys, they were kind enough to lend me a drink at GU corner.  I was able to meet Karl Hanson and a couple f other guys who I have heard about because of there tremendous speed, something I can only dream about having. I had 4 miles that I would consider Marathon pace miles, well at least they were closer to what I want, about 30 seconds off is all. 8:16(152), 8:05(157), 8:00(152), 7:56(148), I don't know what happened on my heart rate on that last one, weird. My average pace was 8:23 with my heart rate average at 152 and my total time was 1:49:44.

I felt pretty good leg wise, I kind of got tired towards the end, but one of my fastest miles was at the end so I was pleased with that. I do have a little stiffness down towards my angle on the front part of my left leg, which is kind of weird, I will have to watch that.

That's about it nothing to exciting but I was very pleased with the run... Time for a nap.

See ya Monday.

Good run Clay! Kim and I slept in too long so I guess we missed you. Maybe next time. Good job on the miles this week. Do you have any races before Striders 1/2?

Thanks Tom. I don't have any other races coming before striders 1/2, that will be first race of the year and I'm kind of nervous. My last race was back in August when I ran the Riverwoods 1/2 so it will be interesting to see how I do. I don't really feel race ready right now but I have a few more weeks to work at it!

See ya around.

I hope things are going well with the arrangements for your Dad, he sounds like a great guy I wish I could of met him!
