Last night Lissa and I went to the Banff Mountain Film Festival showing at the University of Utah, and didn't get home until nearly 22:00. So by the time we wrangled the baby, grabbed a bite to eat, and got ready for bed it was nearly midnight. The 06:00 alarm seemed awfully early this morning, and I considered skipping the run. But, I know that I'm the middle of "training blahs" (where you're running nearly the same schedule week-in and week-out, and it's easy to get into a rut) and that if I skipped this run it would just make it easier to justify skipping other runs. So, I got up, got out, and ran. I did my normal three mile "underpass loop" course that takes me up Parley's Canyon Blvd, under the I-80 underpass on 2000 East, down 2700 South, to 1700 East, and back home. I tried to push the pace a bit, and managed to keep my average at 7:27/mile. My last mile as my fastest mile at 7:17. Not as bad as I was expecting. GPS output:
