I waited for the rain to clear this morning for the simple reason that I am sick of running in it! It turned out really nice around 10:00am and so I headed out, I wasn't to sure how my hip was going to handle it but it felt pretty good so my goal was 10 miles and try and keep my heart rate up for part of it. So after a 2 mile warm up I started to increase my pace just a bit each mile those splits went as follows; 8:24(140), 7:54(154), 8:11(146) felt very easy, 8:11(149), 7:45(155). I then ran 3 cool down miles to finish out the run and my average pace for the entire run was 8:27 and my heart rate average was145, total time was 1:25:17. My ankle started to bother me towards the end but it felt better for longer on this run than it usually does so I don't know if that is a good sign or not. It will be good to have another rest day tomorrow to give both my hip and my ankle time to recover. I watched some the 5k over in springville and I think I saw Michelle warming up, and then it looked like she was in 3rd when they came around where I was watching, I hope she did well. I also saw Tom and Kim and some other runners when I was headed back to my home and they were braving the rain, boy was it coming down, they looked drenched!:-(
Well, that's about it for today, back to regular mileage next week, at least I hope I am able too.
See ya then.
