This was a tough race. It was fairly flat but there were some gradual uphills and gradual downhills, but according to my Garmin, more uphill than downhill. Also, it seemed unusually humid this morning. I really felt like I struggled the first four miles, and through mile 8. I tried to pick up the pace and maintain a good pace through the last mile.
I don't know what the official results will be like because they did not use timing chips.
According to my Garmin, my overall pace was 9:47.
Splits were: 9:41, 9:34, 9:48, 10:24, 9:18, 9:54, 9:34, 10:15, 10:05, 9:18
I'm really tired now. I'd like to take a nap.

Recovery run. I took it easy this morning to recover from yesterday's race. It was quite cool this morning. I think we got the cold front that Utah had yesterday.
Average pace: 11:09. Splits: 11:19, 11:04, 11:01. |

It was even colder this morning than yesterday, at least at the start of my run. But it is warming up faster today than yesterday.
I went onto a paved trail that goes through a green belt very near my house less than a half mile into my run and I saw a group of four animals. I think they were coyotes. It made me nervous, but I kept running and they didn't bother me. I guess they are after the rabbits that are all over the neighborhood, not the people.
My legs felt tired and heavy this morning and it was easy for me to go slow. A couple of weeks ago when I started trying to run slower I had to force myself to do it. Now it's easier for me to go slow and feels more natural. I feel like I'm becoming a slower runner and I'm losing the ability to run as fast as I used to run.
Here are today's stats:
Average pace: 11:10
Splits: 11:56, 11:22, 11:20, 10:57, 10:31

Just an average run. The high temperature today is supposed to be colder than it has been the last couple of days. However, it was actually a little warmer this morning than it has been recently.
For some reason I've been extraordinarily hungry the last few days. I don't know what's up. And then on my run this morning I could really smell the bacon as I ran past IHOP, and then I could smell the donuts from Lamars. But I just ate a banana when I got home from the run.
I saw my next-door neighbor running this morning. I've seen her walking before but I've never seen her run before today. I don't really know her. I should make an effort to get to know her.
Stats for today:
Average pace - 10:36
Splits - 11:19, 10:47, 10:21, 10:08 |

I normally do a long run on Saturdays, but I didn't today because I had the 10 mile race on Monday, and I was already at 22 miles for this week and I've been doing around 24-25 MPW lately.
I've got a small local 5K next Saturday, and so I ran the course for that race this morning. I had put the course on my Garmin and kept the Garmin on the course map the whole time, so I didn't monitor my pace except just to run at whatever felt like a (relatively) comfortable pace. It turns out the course is very hilly. The first half is mostly uphill and the second half is mostly down hill, though there are a couple of good uphills in the second half. And a good chunk of the second half is on unpaved trail.
I went a little farther than the 5K distance because I started and stopped at a slightly different place than they will next week.
Stats for this run:
Average pace - 10:21
Splits - 10:17, 10:18, 9:55, and 0.36 @ 11:55
