Tough field this morning and not training at the same level last year brought me down in the rankings this time. Oh well, life can be a tricky balance sometimes between work, family and hobbies. I'm still happy with the result even though I went out a bit too agressive and then died at mile 2. This was where the lack of overall mileage and intensity really showed up in a big way.  Sasha surprised me after mile 2 and passed me right before the big incline and opened up on me. I was able to reclose on the hill and get within 5 sec but lost him at mile 3 on the last .2 mile stretch and he reopened 10 secs on me. Oh well, maybe next time...

I didn't get to talk to you today, but I remember talking to you at the SLC track club 10K. One thing I really admired about you as I talked to you that day, was the importance of balance in your life! I wish I could run a 5K in 16:48 and be disappointed about it.
