15 miles. Because of the snow and ice I mostly stuck to plowed roads and sidewalks, but because of the snow and ice there was not much traffic on the roads. Ran down hill and past Temple Square, up Memory Grove, around and up 11th Ave. Miles 9 to 13 were supposed to be at goal pace of 6:47 (I cheated and ran downhill): 9 - 6:46, 160bpm, a bit downhill. 10 - 6:46, 167bpm, a bit downhill. 11 - 8:15, 165bpm, half mile uphill and half mile downhill. The uphill was extra slow due to snow and ice. It was just too slick to push my pace. 12 - 6:41, 166bpm, downhill with snow and ice. 13 - 6:44, 168bpm, downhill with a little snow. I hit both lights green when running into downtown. I really bogged down coming back in that last mile or so. I think I was running out of fuel. I only ate part of a package of sports beans and they didn't sit very well.
