Solid gully run. I gave a little harder than average effort, didn't push it too much but I also wasn't taking it easy. The last mile I realized I could go under 45 minutes so I ran a 6:10 to finish in 44:46. Not bad, I'm not sure if I could break 40 minutes in an all out effort right now. Averaged 7:07 which isn't bad for the gully. I finished with 1.7 miles in the lower gully. My garmin died on the way back to the car, but I ran out .85 and then turned around so fortunately I knew the distance.

Last week of school, I have one final the week after this. Need to finish writing one proposal, write another. Do a group project. Present for one of the proposals, and study really hard for that exam. Also have some thesis work that's been going well. It's really interesting, but there's also a ton to read. In 10 days I'll be done, and will just have my thesis and other research probects to worry about. Time to finish strong. Hopefully keep up mileage unlike the end of last semester.
