Did a loop around Ivins then did my usual through Santa Clara. Dutchman's is a great potty and water stop. Then up lava flow and pioneer parkway then connected with Snow Canyon Parkway and back to Ivins. Stopped for water at the Ivins Park then home. Really pushed it the last 5 miles. Did a progressive run where each mile is faster. Usually lose a minute going up the hill into Ivins on the Snow Canyon parkway but today I pushed hard and actually gained minute. Felt great!
Wore Muzino Elixer's. I think these will be my marathon shoes. My feet felt great the whole time and they are very light. It has been a tough week. I really wanted to push hard since I am going to take it easy the next two weeks while I'm in Georgia. avg pace: 8:03 Time: 2:09
