See you Monday.

Payson Canyon run with Bigfoot. I felt a little better than last week but it took a few miles to get lossened up and then I had a pretty good flow and my stride opened up. My average pace was 7:56 with a total time of 1:03:33, MP miles 8:06, 7:52, 7:40, 7:39, 7:31, 7:41. Upper and lower body weights after and some push-ups. Not my best time down but I had some better mile splits in the middle and towards the end. 

See you tomorrow.
