Race: Top of Utah 1/2 (13.1 Miles) 01:45:58

Pretty good day considering my lack of good training.  I just wanted to take it easy, but see how hard I could push it.  Started off really conservative running 8:38, 8:30, 8:19, and then started to feel much better.  Dropped down to sup 8's for a while (Forgot my splits running without the Garmin today.) But I know I was sub 8 for at least 5 miles because I hit mile 8 right at 64 minutes.  I hit every mile marker at exactly 8 min until mile 12, when I lost a few seconds as it got steeper.  Then I was gassed and finished the last mile in about 8:45. 

It was good to be out there today, and enjoyed the race.  After the race I walked back until I saw my wife and ran about the last mile with her.  She did awesome!  Anyways, I think it is about time I get back in shape, but it is so easy to be fat and happy!
