Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

I guess I should be happy but I can't remeber the last time I felt this crummy after a race. To make matters worse after leaving Mapelton I went striaght Home to coach two different soccer games. At least we won 2-0 and 11-1. The sun wasn't kind my shoulder is killing. Bowels, stomach, you name it I am in pieces. I was very proud of Suzanne though 1:56:42 I think. A major PR. Mine was as well but I was hoping for better. It was hot, no tail wind, oh well at least I can say the New Nike racing flats were amazing.

First mile 5:18 Hr 182 I was in the lead for the first 500 Meters. It scared the devil out of me. Where was Vick where was Moody. I felt alot better when they passed me.

2nd Mile 6:15 Hr 173 much better.

3rd Mile 6:18 HR 175 hit the 5k in 18:27 a new PR

4th Mile 6:06 HR 175

5th Mile 6:40 HR 174

6th Mile 6:33 HR 173 Some where in here a new 10 K record

8th Mile 6:16 HR 176

9th Mile 6:36 HR 178

10th Mile 6:28 HR 178 10 mile a new PR at 1:03:03 I thought I was about a mile ahead of last year.

Great speed today buddy! You freakin smoked me today. I saw you fast suckers fade into the distance! A cool perspective for anyone to see what they look like! Good job! Im going to have my hands full with you speed demons chomping on my heals! Keep it up.

Nice race Matt - you smoked it. I'm a little jealous as this is the kind of running I'd really rather be doing right now. 3 more weeks and you can help me get back on track for SG.

Nice run Matt. You beat my best half of the year by 8 seconds.

Thanks for all your comments even though I realize you can pretty much all smoke me at any distance any time. It still makes me feel good to rub shoulders with such greatness.
