Firehouse 5k on Hill Air Force Base. I set a new 5k PR by 14 seconds. My wife Dawn and daughter Emily joined me for their first race ever. They both did very well. After finishing and catching my breath, I ran back to my wife and we did last bit to the finish together.
Reasons I love this race: 1) Its free! 2) Hill AFB has the only Popeye's Fried Chicken in the state of Utah and I don't have military ID. It's the only time each year I can get Popeye's. 3) The fire department sponsors the race and does a great job.

| I was very excited for this race. My first attempt at 50 miles. Got to the start at 4:30am to cheer for the early 100 milers start at 5:00am. I met Maurine Lee and her sister Marsha. Maurine had agreed to share her race crew (Marsha) with me. We took the 50 miler early start at 6:00am. We had to use lights for the first hour, it was cold, so we were in long sleeves and gloves. The running felt great. Soon after sunrise, it got hot. Ditched the long-sleeves and gloves. Our pace was well matched. At Simpson Springs Station, Maurine got resupplied and back on the road a minute or so before me. I had trouble finding my S-caps. I returned to the road, but did not try to catch up with Maurine. I was feeling good, running at the pace I could maintain. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention because I stepped on a rock with my right foot and felt a 'pop' accomanied by sharp pain. That was about mile 19. I ran another mile to where Marsha was waiting. That mile was a debate on whether to continue. Since the pain was not subsiding and my left knee was complaining from favoring the right leg, I let judgement overcome pride and experienced my first DNF. RN Marsha iced and wrapped my foot and I became additional crew for Maurine. She is tough, finished in 13 hours 7 minutes. Davy Crockett won the 100 mile race, setting a new course record. It was a bitter/sweet day for me. |

This is the first time I ran since I injured my foot at last week's Pony Express 50 miler. My wife and two of my daughters ran with me. This is a fun race in Mantua, UT. I assured my wife that the course was flat and it was...last year. The new course has hills, but we all finished and had a good time. I couldn't get any speed from my legs and had no spring from my right foot. I was very happy to be back running. I get grumpy when I can't run.
