Workout Wednesday 4x1 mile repeats. I'm running a half this weekend, I didn't want to do to much or to little. Splits 6:04, 6:08, 6:12, 6:08. I went to fast on my first one which made my 3rd one feel more difficult. Not quite the even splits I was hoping for today. 2 mile warm up 2 mile cool down. 2 min. jogging rest.

Race: Southern Utah Half Marathon (13.2 Miles) 01:26:23, Place overall: 1

Last week I decided to come down and run the Southern Utah Half with Riley. My in laws took our kids for us so we could drive down. I was hoping to run under 1:25, which would've been a PR but we had a strong head wind the whole race. I also surprisingly took 1st, which I was happy about. This was my first half marathon victory. The first 3 miles of this race are downhill, then it flatens out the last 10 miles. I was 5 seconds behind the girl in 1st for 7 miles, then I decided to pass her and see if I could hold onto 1st place. It worked and I put a 20 second gap on her and she stayed that far away the rest of the race. I kept thinking she would catch me eventually because it's unnatural for me to win a half. My splits: 6:09, 6:21, 6:09, 6:30, 6:28, 6:40, 6:35, 6:25, 6:50, 6:51, 6:46, 6:52, 6:32, last .19-1:08 I wasn't too happy with my splits that hit 6:50, 6:51, 6:52. I let the wind get the better of me those miles. I hit a bit of a wall. AP 6:33 for the race.
