AM Magna 5K 2 miles warm up race and 4 miles cool down.  Going out of town to Roosevelt so I will run more tonight.

Race was good didn't make to many excuses.  I did run 52 seconds faster this year over last year.  Talking with D. after I let up too much in the last mile.  Splits 5:11, 5:32, 6:10, .31.  Should have toughened up a little more in the last 800 meters, Eric Petersen passed first and decided "Oh well let him go." 1st mistake and then at the final turns I looked to see who was behind me.  2nd mistake, it was two young guys, not masters, so I didn't care much if they came up or not.  They did, 3rd mistake, half hearted kick to the finish.  If I would have gutted up a little in the last 800 meters I would have been 3rd Master instead of 4th.  Dennis ran great.  I was chicked twice today, but by great runners running well so it's okay.  I put 1st in division on my report but that's one of those half lies.  I was first in age division because the three that beat me were displaced because of Masters overall.  I can't remember what I was in the overall. 13 -16

 PM Ran with Dave Danley tonight when I got in town 10 mles.  Nice way to stretch out after a long drive.  I like hearing about his training and some of his races from when he ran at Utah State.  As a freshman he ran for BYU and transferred to USU.  He ran a 14:10 at a Stanford meet in the 5000 Meters and just the week before Tervor Ball had run a 14:09 at Oregon so Dave was bumbed that he didn't run a second or two faster to hit Tervor's time.  Man it would be so awesome to be able to run those kind of times.  Dave is a great runner and works hard.  He is focusing on Grandma's for his next.
