Went out this morning late not knowing how I would feel- Started out what felt slower than usual and ended up 8:03 for the warmup mile- So I decided to just keep the current pace of 7:20's going and hold for a bit. The last 2 miles I broke up into .25- .40 mile runs with 1-2 minutes of recovery. those 2 miles were 6:21 and 6:29 with a fast of 5:19. Overall average pace was 7:16

Right foot was feeling good but the left had an area of numbness to it-

Nice run this morning over Tonaquint to Micky Dees to the temp trail head by the Dixie Center...trail closed, had to then reverse back to home. I wasn't really wanting to do that but oh well. Right foot had some issues with Nueromas at about 7 miles....dang it!  7:56 average pace

Ran the Sojo Half Marathon this morning- Had no idea how the body would be after the SGM. The course is basically downhill with about 3 miles of average climbing and the last 2 miles or so are pretty flat. Going in I hoped to just be under 1:40 so it went about as good as I could expect. My right foot started having issues with about 3 miles left and that made me mad but I kept moving, just a bit slower. The time may not be a great one but the overall race was a good one for me as far as consistency. This is not a downhill aided course. The temps were much warmer than I had hoped for and there was wind as well. I had arm warmers on and had to pull them off after 5 miles because I was overheating fast. Was hoping for about 15-20 degrees cooler!

Splits: 7:12/ 7:22/ 7:05/ 7:39/ 7:25/ 7:23/ 8:31/ 7:32/ 7:31/ 7:27/ 7:34/ 8:16/ 8:14/ 7:09

The last 2 miles were flat and had a headwind so that slowed me down a bit, the 8:31 was a climb and I slowed down but ran the whole hill without wimping out. Looking forward to the Snow Canyon Half in a few weeks to see if I can use this consistency with some downhill and knock off some time-
