AP- 8:30.  Ran a river-trail loop.  This was a tough run that included several hills- the worst of which was from the river bottom to the top of 114 on the dirt road at the very end of the run.  Felt good though to get a tough run in with a few miles at a respectable pace.  Hopefully I can get more consistent with my running again

1 mile walk with the 2 yo old in the back pack then a fabulous 3.7 mile run.  The weather was awesome.  I didn't wear my watch so I have no idea my pace but I'm sure it was pretty slow- probably high 8's to low 9's.  Felt really good.

7.25 tough miles.  This run was challenging but felt good.  The wind was stiff and my legs were a little tired but I managed an AP of 8:14.  My splits were- 8:16,  8:18,  8:25 (Tithing Hill), 7:58, 8:35 (Parkway Pallisades Hills), 7:48,  and 8:05.  I then cooled down with a .25 mile walk. 

I'm signed up for Ogden Full but haven't had much time to train.  I'm debating whether or not I should try and run it.  Based on tonight's run I think I could do it but I'm not sure I can run at the pace I want to.  Is it too late to pull off a good time?  Should I try and run it for fun?  I wish I wasn't so competitive with myself- I always feel I have to run a PR or I shouldn't be running.  How do you break this mind set?
