AM - We got to the race a little early to have the kids run the 1k - Isabel won overall girls and Elijah and Sophia really had a good time. Isaac wanted to run the 5k. I'm really proud of him - he's really starting to catch the vision of running and competition.

As far as my race went, I spent a little bit of time warming up, hit the bathrooms, found Quadsi and headed to the starting line. I hadn't really thought much about how I was going to do. I just did a tempo with Aaron on thurs. so, I thought I might still be a little tired from that workout and didn't really expect too much.

After the race started I decided I would just try and see if I could keep Logan in sight. As we were going through Coral Canyon I did fairly well keeping him somewhat close but by the time we turned the corner to go up Telegraph he was starting to pull ahead a little more ( about 20-30 sec). I knew I wasn't going to mantain that distance up the hill, but it was looking like he had almost stopped racing or pushing.  I just kept trying to motor up as fast I could but, even with him taking it easier, I still wan't gaining ground.  By the time we reached the top of the hill I just tried to change gears and get my legs going  for the down hill finish. I was able to kick it in pretty good at the end and really felt good most the race.  Here are my splits:

5:29, 5:25, 5:38, 5:54, 6:27, 5:50, 5:17 (last .2) 35:08 - 10k

Overall, I was really happy with the race today mostly because of how I felt and being able to "push" most the way. After the race Logan and I went and ran the course again to get in some more miles. About 14 total for the day including warm-up, race, and running the course again.
