10 miles in Highland/Alpine with Scott, Toni, Mike, Spencer, and Reed.

My first real workout since returning after my hamstring injury. Warmed-up 4 miles, then did 3-mile tempo in 16:30 (5:28, 5:32, 5:29).  Nothing to write home about, but you have to start somewhere. Actually, I was very pleased with it. Felt relaxed and strong. Thought about going 1-2 more miles, but I figured I'd better ease into this stuff.

3:30 am. 10 easy miles from my home. I had a 6am meeting at work today, and I knew this would be my only opportunity to run today. Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do.

10 easy miles up and down Provo Canyon with Scott, Brandon, Toni, and Mike. Loved this run. I haven't done this run since November; I've definitely missed it. Great company.

I had no business racing a 5k today, but I did it anyway. I'm recovering from injury, I recently took 2 months off from running, and I've done no speed. Essentially, this was off the couch. I know, I know -- my intelligence can be questioned by my decision to race today. But, I just had to do it. Brandon did the "Inception" trick to me last week and planted this 5k idea in my head.

My watch time said 16:25, but the results say 16:30 (not sure why the difference, but it doesn't matter). A bit of a headwind the whole time. My garmin said 3.2 miles (but we all know that means nothing). First mile was 5:21 and I was in a pack of 4. For some reason, the pace felt way too slow. I was practically running into their backs (I decided to stay right behind them). I was tempted to pass them many times, but I held back. After the first mile, I couldn't deal with it anymore. I made a move, and this dropped 2 of the runners. Trevor Baker stayed right with me, and he looked great. 2nd mile was 5:09. Then, Trevor made a strong move. I tried but couldn't cover it. What can I say -- I'm a wuss :) My third mile was another 5:09, and Trevor's was 4:57. That was the race. Trevor was strong and impressive and deserved the win. Thanks, Scott and Mike, for cheering at the end.

Even more fun than racing was experiencing the pre- and post-race with Brandon (drive to the race, warm-up, warm-down, etc). What an awesome friend. Thanks for planting this seed in my mind, Brandon.
