I was going to run with the club in St. George this morning, but didn't have a car to get me there. Oh well--some other time. I ran around Hurricane and LaVerkin for a very solid run. After 6 miles in Hurricane, I went to the north side of LaVerkin and ran 1 mile up the S-Curve on the Hurricane Half Marathon course. I was pleased that my pace didn't drop slower than 6:45/mile on my way up. I came back through LaVerkin, past the Hurricane Middle School and south to the Hurricane Intermediate School, then back through my parents neighborhood to round it out to 20. I felt great the entire run, with zero knee or hip issues. Gatorade stops at 6 and 12. No cramps.
The pace was interesting today. The first 4 miles, I seemed to struggle to hit 6:45 pace, but from that point on, I struggled to go slower than 6:00/mile pace. I wanted to hit 6:15's or so, but I'd look down and see 5:45 or 5:50 with what seemed the same effort. It felt great to run so effortlessly.
Total Time: 2:01:57 (4 minute negative split from mile 10)
Pace: 6:05
