I would have liked to run the skin cancer awareness 10k in Bountiful but it was my daughter's b-day party.... 

So I ran a tempo run.  2.25 mile warm up to Memory Grove (got a bit sick for some reason and was lucky to find a PoP at a construction site :(  )  Tempo- 2.? miles up the canyon and 1.? miles back down.  Slowest uphill mile was 8:25.  Downhill pace was 5:53.  1.5 mile cool down.  This was a shorter tempo run but my uphill pace was the fastest this year (ever?) and that down hill mile was my fastest ever mile.  This gives me a bit of confidence.  I kind of wish I was racing a fast course so I could shoot for sub 3. 

One more in the bank.  A little more taper next week.

Great job on the tempo run. The next 2 weeks are going to feel so easy after all of the hard work you have put in.

Great job, Fly!!! Wish you could do St. george, too, but you'll rock City of Trees.
