19 @ 8:16 AP.  I realized last night I should have changed my goal to slower so as to not look bad : (.  But really I am pleased with this run.  I was barely sore and still am not sore four hours later.  Butt nerve pain acting up when sitting otherwise fine.  Pelvis ached during faster miles at the end but felt fine otherwise (oh except left foot pain acting up).  Started out on my lonesome at 5:15am for five.  Circled my neighborhood a few times and took a much needed potty break then headed up to Kim's to run 8 with her and Kerri.  Kerri had GI issues so we had to stop three times.  We ran a mostly rolling hill course with only four steep hills.  Felt like a real honest course but not going for too speedy today.  Decided to have fun with it but did speed up the last 5 miles to see if  I could.  The air was still humid so we were sticky sweaty but so much nicer without the sun on me!!  After getting Kim back to her home and grabbing some water and 1/2 banana I headed out for my last 6 miles going this way and that trying to do a larger route around my neighborhood but finished going in the same circle I started for the last two.  It goes up and down so was good to push me here.  Splits for fun:  9:17, 8:30 , 8:27, 8:24, 8:32, 8:24, 8:33, 8:24, 8:23, 8:45 (steepest  longest climb), 8:28 (part of the climb but a good downhill), 8:03, 8:14, 8:11, 7:48,  7:47, 7:53, 7:42, 7:16 : D!!   BTW I don't have my garmin on pace mode any more.  It was doing more damage than good.  I could see my mile splits but didn't focus on AP so was pleasantly surprised since it felt rather easy.  Iced in river  X 11 minutes with Kim.   Vacuumed then had kids vacuum their rooms.  Hungry.  Work two nights  in a row.  First day shift is Tuesday.  Good luck to all that are running the 1/2 tomorrow down Provo Canyon.  Wish I could be there.

Good, solid, long run! Nothing bad about the pace and you finished solid! Sounds like your body tolerated it well too! That's great news!

NICE long run. I'd kill to get that kinda pace for 19 miles. Strong finish and managed pain too!

Bye bye night shifts! You're gonna feel like a new woman with some decent sleep patterns!
