12.1M in 1:25 starting at a little before 7am Twin Falls time. Weather was cool and dry. Route went all over the eastern half of town, roughly Candleridge Smith's O'Leary Thomsen Hankins 4th Elizabeth Harmon Viola Bontrager Smith's Alturas and home. Everything was asphalt except a lap around Thomsen Park on the thick wet grass. This was a pretty good run and I felt stronger and stronger as it went on. The first 2 miles I felt crappy and my legs were super-stiff. But all the rest of the miles except the 1st 2 were 7:04 and under, and the last 6 were 6:52 and under. Average pace was 7:01.
The run turned out to be pleasant, too. I had been dreading running 12 miles in TF. It helped to get an early start (sun rises late there and sets late) and it was quiet and still out at that hour.
