I have done a terrible job of blogging lately but I figured I had to put this one in. It was my first 1st place finish in almost 4 years. About 200 people showed up but not a lot of speedsters I reckognized. I had a lot of friends there from the gym and my neighborhood. The race was put on by our Draper City police department to help officer Smith with Health care costs.
So from the start I had a police escort the whole way and we passed another dozen officers along the route. The funniest part was we made a wrong turn. The officer let me come alongside his car to discuss this with him. I said keep going they will follow us. The first mile of the course was up hill and then it a quick half down hill and after that pretty flat. My garmin measured it long 3.15
As soon as it was over I took off to get my girls to swim team and after that I came back to get a two foot high trophy, pose for pictures and shake hands with the mayor. The rest of the day was followed by soccer games and yard work. I wanted to get my long run in today but not enough time. I really need to get on it and I will try to back blog my miles the last 3 weeks but I am still just getting back into to it post Salt Lake Marathon. Anyway it was a good day.
