Easy run. Average pace: 9:24.

4:52 am, 56°F, 77% humidity, wind 5 SSW.

They had a Parents Day at seminary this morning. Parents were supposed to go to seminary instead of kids. So instead of my just needing to be done with my run in time to take the boy to seminary, I had to be done with my run and had to have a shower in time for seminary. I went to seminary with wet hair. I probably looked like I had rolled out of bed just in time to take a shower but not dry my hair, when in fact I had been up for 2 hours by the time seminary started. Oh well.

I was obliged to run through some sprinklers this morning. Later in the day, I would welcome that opportunity, but at 5:15 in the morning, I'm not too keen on it. But it wasn't a problem. Splits today were 10:00, 9:50, 9:33, 9:17, 9:21, 9:11, 8:40. That last mile was a dash home to the bathroom. I should have stopped at the gas station in mile 6, but I chose not too. Lesson learned.

Great job getting the run in so early (4:52 ouch!) and making it to Seminary on time - even with the wet hair, lol.

Making it to seminary with wet hair . . . you probably looked like every normal high school student who shows up to early morning seminary.

You are amazeing...one day I hope to grow up to be like you... I can't seem to get myself out of bed until it's time to go to get ready for work. I really need to take some Nike advise and "just do it"

Nice miles! I love how 'emergencies' make us run faster :) Maybe I need a few more to help me get some speed work in!
