Today will be a 4 mile rest run......a good way to ease into week two of taper time. I'm really enjoying taper time this go round. It was a pretty tough training cycle and I glad it's all done except the UVM.I'm planning on about  35 miles this week spread out over 5 or 6 runs.

Today I am going to run the Nestle 5K route to get a feel for the new course that has been introduced for the 2010 running.

Yo FRB's, I went and ran the course, actually I just jogged it, and I think everybody will really be pleased with it. This is an easier course than the old one.  the starting line is at about 4750 ft elevation which climbs to 4815 at about 1.3 miles out where you run up about a 200 step hill and then return back to the track at the school. The return trip is a gentle down hill run where you can really kick ass and take names.........I think I'm really going to like this new course.

Nestle 5k day!

Yes it was and it turned out to be almost everything I hoped I hoped it would be. Right from the start of the morning I met up with Kimme and Kathie and Barbara while I was standing in the shadow of the big gray temple of doom. We said our hellos and then planned on getting in about a 1 mile warm up run. We did it with no apparent problems. Then it was off to the starting line and working through all the guess work on what was going to transpire in the next 3.1 miles? Thats where we met up with Alisa K and Madie....

My stated goal was to get a first place in my age group but my main goal was to run well without doing something stupid and mess up UVM this coming saturday. I wanted to run it in 20 minutes?

Oh well, the big guy with a whistle a bullhorn sounded the start and we were all off and running. The course unfolded just like I left it on thursday....3.1 miles and it went the same way as I practiced it two days ago. I shouldn't have but I watched my garmin and noted that I did the first mile in 6:53 minutes, followed with a 7.18 minute second mile and a third at 6:57 which leaves 59 seconds to give me a 22:08 overall race time. Hey thats  7.1 minute average.

Although I am more than satisfied with my run today, because I was trying to be conserative. I know I could have cut off at least one minute per mile of my time.....Oh well, theres next year. This year was my tenth time to run this family fun time 5k in the past ten years. 

After we all finished our races we ran back up the course and ran in with Grandma Barbara....she took 1st place in her age group. Congrats Ms. B.  Kathie pulled in a 3rd place plaque. Hey, Baldman running won a big BBQ and a real cool bird house, his young 7 year old daughter placed in her age group....I think she did her 5K in 33 minutes!!!!

At the awards ceremony I managed to get second place in my tired old man division, not bad for sand bagging my race! Next year I will be the young legs of a new age group and those old men better get out of my way, I will get my first place!

So if this wasn't enough to make my day the best ever, I drew out in the raffle and was awarded an IPOD TOUCH.....talk about dumb luck with a bib with the number 18 on it.

So thats my story and I'm sticking to it......till next year.
