43:29. 7:11 pace per mile. Last mile in 6:31. I ran around my neighborhood (out to the neighborhood around the Goulde's home and back). It was cold and I woke up a little later than usual, so I ran a little faster.
Come St. George Marathon time, you should arrange to have to be somewhere about 2 hours and 50 minutes after the start. That way you'll be sure to run a PR. You wouldn't want to be late!
That's a really strong pace for 6 miles. I'm impressed. Of course, according to Sasha's strict prescription, you should be holding back a little more than that but sometimes running slow can just drive someone nuts or make you late.

7:11 pace is fine if it comes naturally.
I've actually had an experience when I had to be at the airport soon enough after a marathon to make things rough. I did hit the wall, all the way kept thinking about making the flight, finsihed in 2:37, and 3:02 after the start of the race was dressed up and driving the car to the airport. Boston Qualifier by 8 minutes!
As a bonus, I did not fall asleep driving, and made my flight.
That's a good strategy Zac. And it looks like it worked for you Sasha. Maybe we should have a goal to be showered, dressed, and at a church building to listen to the first session of General Conference after St. George (as it seems like they are usually the same weekend). We'd probably be blessed with good times.
7:11 pace is not yet relaxed running for me -- if I measured my HR, I'm sure it would have been higher than my run the previous day -- but it isn't too bad. I plan to go nice and slow tomorrow.
