Total Distance

Did a nice run this morning before going to the Ivins Easter Egg Hunt & pancake breakfast. Ran on the river trail then towards Green Valley. I am spoiled. The river trail is nice and all but I get to run in paradise every day. Varied terrain, beautiful sights, nobody around but the deer and turkeys and other random animals.

I should've turned around at 5 miles but I wanted to keep going. As I've said before, I'm horrible at math in my head when on a run. I didn't realize I needed to be done before 8, so when I realized that, I had already gone 6 so I picked up my pace on the way back. Ended up being a great progression long run, going much faster at the end of my long run than normal, especially on flat to slight uphill elevations. Run felt great. Love being 1000 feet lower in elevation.

Paces: 9:25, 9:31, 10:40 (stopped to read the trail map), 9:05, 9:50 (?), 8:41, 8:50, 8:24, 8:27, 8:20, 8:05, 8:25, 8:08. AP: 8:58

thanks alllie. the food was excellent, and the egg hunt was nice in that all the age groups had different areas. i was disappointed that there were no age groups for 39 year olds. sigh.

Nice run Russ! A little bird told me you were stealing the eggs off the kids when their parents weren't watching. Shame on you. Shame on you, man.

Bam, there is no photographic evidence of my plundering. None. I destroyed it all. Those moms were ticked!
