15.35 miles in the morning.
I went out for my run and was a little nervous because of the clouds in the sky. It looked like it was going to rain. I forgot it was St. George and it just threatens a lot. The sun came out and it was fine. I went from my parent's house in Santa Clara out through Ivins and Kayenta and then back to their house. I had to stop 2 miles in and take my sleeves off. It was way to hot for them. I also had to take a slight detour and go too the Ivin's Chevron. It wasn't for hot chocolate by the way! I kept the pace honest and was pushing at times because the wind was blowing slightly. I ended up doing the run at 6:31/mile pace overall. I felt fine and the legs were not very sore at all. This was a good sign. Now it is back up to the cold weather in Ogden.
This was kind of a cool picture of the finish at the Painter's Half. |
