10 miles
1:11.42
7:10 average
Met up with Josh and Scott and ran on the Jordan River Pkwy trail. We had planned on starting around a 7:45 and progressing faster from that down to 6:45-7:00.
The first little while was pretty cold and it took me a couple miles to feel like I was hitting a rhythm. I felt like I was breathing with a lot more effort than needed until about mile 3. Josh and I talked about how it takes until 3-4 miles to really feel dialed in and in a groove. I guess that was the problem with the first few miles. After that, I felt great. The pace came with little effort. Mile 8 was 7:07 and then we turned it up just a bit and finished 9 at 6:31 and 10 at 6:25. Always feels good to finish with stuff left in the tank.
