Well, I guess this race was a step in the right direction.  I was really hoping to be under 1:30, but I struggled on a few of the sections.  Last month I ran the STG half in 1:40:17, so I took almost 8 minutes off of that time today.  I know what I need to do, I just need to get out there and get to training better.  I also need to clean up my diet.  I felt pretty good the first 6 miles, might have gone out too fast for the shape I'm in, but I just felt like using the downhill miles at the beginning the best that I could.  I'm looking forward to doing the Spectrum 10K and maybe another half next month.  The key race for me this spring will be the Ogden Half Marathon in May, so I'm going to keep working at getting back into shape.

The Ogden half has always looked like a good one. Keep it up man you'll get there and be back in form soon enough. Good job on a 8 min PR for the year:)
