Restless night, weird dreams, stuffy nose...needless to say it was easy to get up this morning, although I was still tired! Met the BBK's at a location infamous for hills, and I wasn't disappointed! Easy warm-up for about 1.5 miles then up and over the Oquirrh Mountain Temple hill three times. So that I wasn't SO far behind as soon as I reached the last person, I'd turn and go back over. I never made it all the way to the bottom, Aaron was nice enough to 'walk' up the hill with me a couple times. When I heard the garmin hit 3 miles I was SO impressed with myself that I had kept the overall AP UNDER a 10mm I just about jumped for joy! It's not an easy hill, and to average out under 10 just seemed like a near miracle. On review, I was actually keeping it around an 11mm on the uphills and I would've thought I was closer to a 12-13mm. We did a couple more loops through the 'hoods and around the park, I ended with 6 even - and alone at the back :( However, this is totally expected when running with this crowd. Those that I can usually keep up with were gone today. AP: 9:37 splits: 9:40, 9:57, 9:57, 9:41, 9:05 (whoo hoo!), 9:21. Now I'm off to yoga - my favorite part of the week, then I'm DONE today....well, except maybe a mid-day nap if Star Wars Wii will babysit for a few minutes :)
