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.  :)
