Total Distance
8.50

1:04:07 -- just over 7:30 pace per mile. I started kind of fast, then slowed down because I realized I had a long ways to run and couldn't sustain my pace. I turned around at 32 minutes and tried to make it back in 32 minutes. I would have, except I had to go to the bathroom for the last mile or two, so I slowed down a bit. I'm kind of bummed that it only ended up being 8.5 miles (according to mapmyrun.com). It felt like I was going faster than 7:30 pace. Oh well.

You've got 7:30 pace down. It won't take much for you speed up a bit at St. George to break 3:10:59. Perhaps in another 12 months you'll be ready for a PR sub-2:50. You never know!

Wouldn't that be awesome. It's a little depressing though to think that I used to be able to run 45 seconds faster per mile for 18 more miles than this run.
