Toquerville Parkway.  Decided to drive out to Anderson Junction and run on the new road back to La Verkin.  I felt pretty good for much of the run.  I finished 5 miles right at the Trails Subdivision entrance with a 8:27 overall average, but then did one more mile up the hill into La Verkin. Finished 53:07 (8:50 overall). 4 mile walk later in the weekend.

Basketball this morning.  Today was the first day I had kids run the mile at school.  I decided I would run with each class period. 

1st- 8:32

2nd- 8:45

4th-8:34

5th- 8:48 some issues with Strava and my phone

6th- 8:06

Felt pretty easy each class period, though I was a little tired by 6th period.
