12 miles @ 8:50/mi - Provo Canyon trail with Kevin
I was grateful the rain from last night didn't carry over into the morning. It was humid and a little chilly, but not wet. It was actually a pretty nice morning. I enjoyed seeing the green leaves on the trees that were barren the last time I remember running up there.
It took my ankle and legs a while to warm up in the cool, humid morning air but after that I felt strong. I feel like we ran a pretty steady cruising pace without really pushing too hard. With about 1/10 of a mile to go a younger male runner passed me pretty easily. I resisted the urge for a bit but finally gave in and sprinted the last 1/10 mile, easly passing him and pulling away before I stopped. It was good finish line practice...and quite enjoyable.
Up: 9:19, 9:13, 9:26, 9:10, 9:26
Down: 8:09, 8:33, 8:22, 8:20, 8:13
Bonus two: 9:08, 8:44
