First Payson Canyon run with Bigfoot. I actually felt pretty good for the first time down which was a pleasant surprise. My average pace was 8:00 and I wasn't trying real hard to push it. I had 5 Mp miles and they went like this, 8:05, 7:49, 7:45, 7:40, 7:53. As I get more use to the down hill I really think I'll be a lot like I was 10 years ago. Thats bmy hope anyway.

See you tomorrow.
