Tough run this afternoon. Went out around 2:00 pm, and it was surprisingly warm. Left from the house and ran to mile marker 4 just outside of Toquerville.

Here are the mile splits tried to push myself but my legs were a little tried from the longer run on Friday.

1-7:29 little slow warming up

.25 jog to state road 9 and next mile marker.

2-6:54 some down hill to the bottom of La Verkin Creek

3-7:43 major uphill heading toward Toquerville,body starting to warm up, when I finished this mile, had to stop and remove the shirt.

4-6:51 nice and easy into Toquerville

5-6:49 another good mile, with a little uphill at the end. Stopped and stretched and then turned around.

6-6:28 easy, back into Toquerville

7-6:37 hurting a little bit

8-6:11 pushing it down the major hill

9-8:52 Ouch! the wheels fell off the bus, gradual uphill climbing back into La Verkin, some reason I'm really struggling at this point and stop and walk for a bit, which I usually never do.

.25 jog to next mile marker

10-6:02 The horse sees the barn, feeling much better I push it home.

Overall, I was happy with the run and the last few days, pretty good week I meet my goal of 50 miles for the week, which was good considering I started the week out with some easier days and less milage.
