10 miles with the Newtons. A new loop though, because it was just Chad and I until sometime during the night George decided to join us. We went from his house UP the Mtn View Corridor past the Jr High, Emmiline to Butterfield Park, down to City Hall via Main St, then Herriman Parkway back to his house. The first few miles were rough...LOTS of uphill. About 400 ft in 3 miles, oh I love me some hills. The only good thing about the route is the last 6 miles are nice downhill miles! I had dropped water by my house, I woke up hungry and thirsty and was afraid to run w/out any so I dropped it for all of us. That was our only stop other than a couple times we waited for George - he is still working on recovering from the marathon. I can't blame him. I remember it was a good month before I ran and didn't feel fatigued after my first full! AP: 8:21 splits: 8:40, 8:52, 9:20, 8:41, 8:26, 8:17, 7:57, 7:58, 7:53, 7:46 - nice little progession on the way home. I didn't think I was running that fast. I would've said 9:20s up and 8:20's down with an average around 8:50ish. Man, my pace estimates aren't what they used to be. Is that a good thing?
Home, to the orthodontist with the eldest boy (he desperately needed his teeth looked at and there are a couple things we need to pay close attention to and possibly take him in for), then rushed him to school and I went to the gym to read and spin a little. My boy had embarrassed me enough at the appointment with his bad behavior that I needed a little vent. Totally worth paying for daycare for only a 45 min day care session. 35 min on the bike, 5 min stretching the hammies/calves. home, shower, music, Costco (big dinner on Saturday for the youth of our ward I'm doing), dinner prep and house cleaning before/while kids did homework and swimming so that we could eat and carve pumpkins after dad got home. A busier day than I've had in a LONG time! I'm ready for bed. Another long day tomorrow.
