I almost didn't get a run in today. I was too tired and sore in the morning to do anything, and I ate too big of a lunch (Alberto's Master Burro or what I like to call the widow maker) to run at that time. When I got off work the temperature was 60 degrees, so I hurried home and switched into my running attire!
I ran up Brigham rd to River rd, down River rd to Riverside dr, through the trail to the Dixie Ctr, and then the trail back to Bloomington. I tried to make this an easy run, but everything was feeling good after finishing those hills for the first 3 miles. The last 5 miles along the Virgin River is all flat. I got a little speedwork in on the flat stuff. I crossed paths and said howdy to the Running Center Boyz (Steve Hooper and Crew) when I was doing my fastest mile. I bet they were impressed!?!?! Over-all time was 1:24:42 and my average pace was 8:16.
Mile Splits: 9:07 (up Brigham RD), 8:39 (still up and down a couple times for next 3 miles), 8:19, 8:20, 8:01 (coming dowm River rd), 8:21, 8:16, 8:00, 7:34, 8:05, & 7:55(last 0.25 mile). |
