The plan called for a race this weekend, but I didn't have the time for one.  :(  So I decided to just run some fast miles.  To make it fun, I ran slowly up City Creek Canyon, then blazed down.  Gravity makes one "fast."  Here are my DOWNHILL splits-

5:59:78  (My first ever sub 6 mile!  Garmin said I  was close, so I pushed to finish below 6.)

6:06

6:11 (2 short up hills)

6:04

last .4 mile @ 5:57

6:04 pace for 4.37 miles.  6:04 pace gets an 18:50 5k!  Isn't gravity swell.  :)

Gravity is swell.

You are swell.

Life is swell.

(Especially when you can run a stinkin' smokin' fast sub 6 mile.)

Seriously, that is sick!!! Very nicely played, Fly! :)

I love gravity!!! You were flying. Way do I find it hard to believe that that was your first sub 6 mile ever? I bet you could go to a track tomorrow and run a 5:30 or better. You just never run only one mile.
