Kim picked me up in the rain at 6:10am to drive to Provo Canyon and meet up with Jane, Julie and Melanie.  I knew I would be running alone as my foot is again acting up and I just don't want to run fast from the get go.  It doesn't feel right to zip in to 7 pace from the start.  Just little Ol' me and my over 40 year old bones :D.  I stopped to pee once on the way up and when the girls were stopped at mile 6 to turn around.   My foot gradually became more and more sore no matter how I tried to land on it.  Bummer.  So on the way back with the girls now a ways in front of me, I stopped to stretch for about 45 seconds.  Then as I neared mile 8, I decided to just go for that 4 mile fast finish for the heck of it.  My foot was angry by the end but during the running fast I didn't have time to "dwell" on it.  Last four miles were 6:48, 6:50, 6:42, 6:42.  Passed the girls at the second fast mile.   They were getting water.  I didn't bring any.  Don't remember ever being thirsty.  Must have been all the rain and wetness around me.  btw those last two miles were exact to the hundredth of second-- 6:42:37.  Thought that was pretty funny!!  : D.   I got back home cleaned more of my blinds, ordered my kids around to get things done and then played a game with Brooke and Courtney.  Then went to Amber's Futsal game.  AP for all 12 miles- 7:45. AP for first 8miles = 8:15.  First mile 8:52.

Excellent fast finish--I prefer my runs that way. Starting so fast just exhausts me and I don't do very well--point in case today.
