Guess what I did this morning?  Yep, a 9 mile progressive run.  Started at 6:40 pace instead of 7:00 bumped it up .1 mph every 1/2, finished at 5:30 pace.  When I hit 9 miles right at 55 minutes I thought to myself, "all I need to do it run 1 mile in 5 to go 10 in 1 hour" then I thought "nah, that ain't happening" and pushed the big red button.

9 miles in 55:00 6:06 avg pace.

The finish line for the SoJo marathon was setting up right across the street from Lifetime this morning.  I thought, boy that would have been nice, I could have finished the race and came across the street and took a shower and sat in the hot tub.  I'm pretty upset I didn't just run the SoJo with Kurt today instead of St. George but instead I'm sitting at the airport waiting for a plane to fly me to San Francisco.  On the plus side this is my bi-annual trip where I get to run on my favorite trail.  Sawyer Camp trail, so I'm pretty excited about that.  Last time I ran it I had a stress fracture and didn't enjoy it at all.
