Another Hobble Creek Half in the books. I had an OK race. I warmed up 2 miles with Scott. 

We took it out conservatively (for the grade). First 6 miles averaging around 5:10. The pace felt good on the legs but my cardio and breathing were way out of wack, felt like a 5k! Not sure what was going on. 

I let Scott go after 7 and battled being out of breath the rest of the race. Weird! I didn't have anyone too close on my tail so once Scott got out of range I lost focus a little and slowed down. Last half average was probably closer to 5:30. 

Hobble Creek Half is one of those "must do" races! Runner's Corner puts on a great event.

VERY LONG RUN

I have a funeral this weekend in Boise so I had to get my long run done today. We were planning on joining Iain Hunter and some of the BYU guys for this workout on Saturday so I had a go at it solo this morning.

I did it backwards, from most years, starting at a park in Highland and going to the Soccer Park in Orem on Murdock and back. It's mostly flat.

It went well, I felt great the whole way, even the last 4, which were a bit of a battle last year.

I Averaged 5:59 and was within 5 seconds of 6:00 for every mile. I stopped at 10, 15 and 20 for water (~1 minute) and took a Gu at 10 and 20.

Felt really good today. Taylor, Matt and I ran together through 7. Taylor had a hamstring problem and backed off. Toni lead me home on the bike, which was nice.
