LONG DAY! - 4 miles along the parkway in St. George in the eveing to cap it off.
Drove down to St. George yesterday after work. Got in about 10:30. Couldn't sleep well for whatever reason. I woke up every hour. I think I was worried about missing my 4:10 alarm. Arose at 4:10 and got to the lake at 5. Spent the entire day in the sun chasing athletes around and taking pictures. My sister-in-law completed her first half ironman.
At about 9pm I decided to head out for a short run. I was going to just do an easy 4-6 because I was pretty beat from being on my feet all day. A friend suggested I head to the parkway to run. I didn't know it was a bunch of rollers. Where I started from it was downhill with a slight tailwind. Ended up at a 7:15. Ran the second in 7:07 or something back up the hill and into the wind. Then slowed to an 8:05 going up a steeper hill into the wind. Turned back downhill and pushed the pace just to test how I would feel this coming Saturday on the downhill 5k. Didn't push too hard and ran near 6:30. Ended the run with a hike to the top of the DIXIE rock to take a night picture.
