AF Canyon 10k this morning but it turned into a progression tempo. Did a 3.25 mile warm up. Was feeling good. Got in two semi strides. Race started and I quickly realized there wasn't that much competition. Gabe Prettypaint came up on my side and we talked for a little bit. He lead the first mile and I decided to just sit in the pack. It felt like a distance run and was 6:17 on my watch. Where their mile mark was posted was .92 on my watch and it got gradually farther from the mile. Took the lead after the mile. My dad and Bennett were on their run and came over to the course and gave me a high five. 6:08,5:54,5:43,5:27. Started working harder. With a mile to go we connected with the 5k runners so I had to weave a tiny bit but it gave me someone to run by and try to get kills. Last mile was a 5:08. Had a lot left in the tank when I came in. I was rocking the Lehi jersey #lod so people still know Lehi kills it.

Time was 34:54 for 6.08 on my watch. Second place was a 30 year old with a 36:03 and third place was a kid who moved here from Cali last year and ran for Westlake for one year before graduating and he got 37:20. 1st place won an over night hotel stay/movie tickets and second and third got $100 gift cards to Altra. I'm giving the hotel stay to my parents and they are gonna buy me a pair of shoes. Talked to Sean Hagert who ran the half. He is a stud. He beat his time from last year by over two minutes and they made the course harder. He got third and 1:14:54, his first 10k wasn't that much slower than mine but it was very downhill. Matt Paulsen got second in 1:11. Emily Barrett (Chicken Nuggets sis) got second in the half off not much training after resting from her win in the Ogden Marathon. Did a 3.5 mile cool down with her afterward. 

PM: Did a night run with Spencer and Zack. We ran by the rodeo grounds and used stopped at Asa's house and talked with his mom. Found a tennis ball and we were throwing it around for the remainder of the run and it was sick. Came back, added on a little then went on main. Then did a mile and a half barefoot on the turf for 5.5 for the run and 18.25 for the day
