tried to get up and out before 6, but didn't make it till about 20 after. 79o and 85% humidity at 6:20. didn't change much during my run. luckily, there was still a lot of shade in the road from the trees, and heading south there was an occasional breeze that helped.
I did 2 out & backs. one down the street, and the other one up the street. the first leg was 6.2 miles. I ran a tad further to make it 6.25 so I could have my own mini D-news 10K. (I just missed the crowds, the downhills, and the smell of bacon cooking as I ran by). My time was rotten, but I didn't care. I just wanted to get miles in today.
My end time for the 10k was 59:40. I then stopped at the house to refill my water bottle and drop offf my headlamp. I went the other direction up the road until it ended & came back. when I got home, I was at 9.85 miles, so I just kept running to make it 10.
overall avg pace was 9:31. splits: 10:18, 9:37, 9:45, 9:30, 9:21, 9:01, 9:36, 9:14, 9:41, 9:04.
The 9:14 and 9:41 are really the same stretch of road- guess which one was the downhill sloped time and which one was the uphill time :-)
Then I came home and had this little tasty treat.
Happy 24th of July y'all. (It's Pioneer Day in Utah for those of you who aren't up to speed on your Utah holidays). |
