Ran the summer games 10k. Did around a mile warm up.

The race went good. I finished in 3rd place, overall... 2nd in my divison.

My time was 34:38 around 5:30 pace. I was pretty happy with the results. A young kid from Viewmont won the race then Jose Martinez from St. George took 2nd. I really wanted to beat Jose. I stayed right with those two until the last mile and a half then I started to feel cramped and they pulled away a little more. I think if it was a half or a marathon I can beat Jose in the future.

Anyways pretty good race. A lot of downhill- 85% downhill, 10% flat, and 5% or less uphill.

Way to go on the race Clyde. That is a pretty good time compared to the 10K races you did before Boston. Sounds like the course was pretty fast and some decent competition. I wanted to run the 10K race, but I knew Sunny would be having the baby at anytime so I didn't even sign up, it was a good thing I didn't. My training was going pretty good at the beginning of the week and but since Thursday I've been pretty busy with the baby and entertaining family. My training should get back on schedule next week. I am planning on doing the 10K race up in Provo on the 4th of July and still interested in doing that Bryce Canyon Half Marathon.

Clyde - this is a great improvement. To measure how great, we need to know the elevation profile of the course. If the elevation profile is not available otherwise, but you remember how the course went, you can chart it at gmap-pedometer.com.

Even assuming the absolute craziest elevation drop, I see no reason why you could not run a sub-2:40 in St. George if you keep up your consistent 60-70 miles a week.

Dustin - 4th of July in Provo is finally going to get certified, so we will be able to tell a lot from your performance.

Clyde - this course is almost exactly like Magna 10 K in terms of elevation profile. 34:38 in Magna predicts 2:45 in St. George.
