I got out late today to run.  Left work at 4pm and hurried into my running shoes.  I hit brigham road going east, negotiated the round-about construction, and up the hill I went at a good pace.  I ran to the end of Brigham Rd, turned left on River Rd, and did the big loop around Bloomington Hills.  By this time I was running pretty easy through rolling terrain. I circled over to the virgin river and took the path back to Bloomington.  My total time was 1:21:07 at an 8:07 ave pace.  The sun went down half way through my run and the wind made it a bitter cold!!  The hills and moutains around St George are coated white from last nights snow storm.  Anyways.... by mile 8 I felt I could run all night!!!

My splits are 8:20, 8:27(big hill), 8:08, 7:51, 8:49(walk to fit gear), 7:55, 7:59, 7:49, 7:35, & 8:10.

Did P90X yoga 2 hours after my run.  That was a nice recovery!
