Morning run 5:45am up and down Butterfield Canyon. 12 miles at 8:16 mile pace.
Stake 5K at 8:00am. There were about 60 runners that showed up. I ran behind a couple of runners for the 1st half mile. I needed to get warmed up after already running 12 miles, then I decided to push the pace. Luckily the teenager that was in second place followed me when I picked up the pace making me run even harder. He fell back after about a mile. As I was finishing the last mile I was pleased to notice I wasn't dead tired and my legs were still feeling strong. Good to know I could go even faster.
I got a 19:40 or about a 6:20 mile pace. |
