Greg and I ran from Butterfield Canyon to my house this morning. Super nice morning. We took a GU around mile 4 and some water. I wanted to get a good solid tempo run into today with at least 6 miles at 6:00 minute pace or better. Here are the splits: First mile warm up 6:50, 6:20, 6:08, 6:08, then we got busy after the GUs, 5:48, 5:49, 5:54, 5:47, 5:50. 47:47 for the 8 miles. We cooled down from Monarch to my house at a 7:56 mile. Hope I don't get too sore. Last big run before Utah Valley, now I can just relax the rest of the time. Greg did well and was with me all but the 9th mile, but still ran great. We were both tired and beat up today, so I felt good about the effort and results. Shooting for a 2:45 next week.
