10 miles @ 7:58/mi.. Trefoil to mouth of Provo Canyon.
1.7 miles @ 10:00/mi. Ran back to run in with Wayne and then Kevin.

I tried to run fast marathon pace effort for the 10 miles, cruising but not pushing too hard. I finished feeling strong and could have gone more miles, but not 16.2 at that pace. This was probably closer to half marathon pace. I ran the Hobble Creek Half a month ago at about 7:50/mi.

I need to average 08:23.82/mi to run my stretch goal of a BQ time (3:40) at St. George. Roughly estimating, if I were to run half at about 8:00/mi (1:45) that would mean I would have to average about 8:45 (1:55) for the other half. I hope to put together a mile-by-mile race plan soon, but I think it's within the realm of possibility.
