AM - 11 miles. Zion Pa'rus trail and some meandering in Springdale (4 w/ Andrea).

Started in Zion and finished the day at Bryce Canyon. The weather was even warmer than yesterday. Certainly a well-timed trip!

AM - 8 miles. Bryce Canyon Rim Trail (4 w/ Andrea) and then back to Ruby's. This is one of my all-time favorite runs.

We did a hike into the amphitheatre... like I said on Saturday, its so cool to see someone's initial reaction when they get immersed in the Bryce Canyon fantasyland.

PM - 4 miles. Had to stretch the legs out after driving back to SLC.

AM - 8 miles at a quick pace (5:35/mile avg). That's getting down to bold font territory.

PM - 4 miles w/ Andrea.

AM - 6 miles. Saltair 5K - 15:23 (4:57, 5:07, 5:01, 0:17). 

I was dragging from a (mentally) tiring week at work, so I was thinking I'd shoot for 5:10-5:15 pace. But I ended up feeling alright and I'm pleased that I can run ~5:00 pace on a solo effort. It would be interesting to see what I could do with someone challenging me (Andrea was 2nd place overall)... although on the flip side I'm not really motivated to push myself any harder at this point.

The course was a touch short (start/finish line was moved up a bit compared to the winter series, not sure why) but I would have been in the mid-15:30s, which I feel pretty good about. A few months ago my lungs almost exploded after running a 5:43 mile, so there's been some major improvement in health and fitness this fall!
