Early morning run around Bloomington Drive. Went out purposely to run slow and consistent, no stopping. Ended up feeling very good about the run running a bit faster each mile. Still only ran a 8:57 average but that was okay because I didn't want to run faster, just keep it going. I could have gone much farther at that pace for sure. I am trying to get myself in the mode of running without getting myself burned out too early. The 5k on Saturday showed me that I either am too weak mentally or I am going out too fast and paying the price at the end. Well this week is going to be the start of training for Snow Canyon Half- Mesquite Full. Have 12 days to Snow Canyon and 26 to Mesquite.
