Feeling pretty good (although very tired) after this mornings run.  I had no intentions of running any type of tempo portion as I've felt pretty tired the past two weeks (ever since the Provo Marathon) and the past couple days my left hip flexor has been very tight.  Anyway, I just wanted to get some time on my feet this morning and see that happened.

I ran west past the college and to Jerome Prarie to use the restroom (5 miles) and then looped back around on Applegate Rd for another 5 miles.  The pace felt comfortable the whole time and and I wasn't feeling too tight so win-win.  10 miles in 1:09:42 (6:59 pace)

At that point I decided to test my legs a little bit and increase the pace slightly for the next X miles.  The course was my usual back into town, to the fire station by the river and back home.  Flat basically the whole way and I felt solid.  Hit the next 10 miles in 59:45 (5:59 pace).  So roughly 6:29 for 20 miles.  Not great but not bad either.  I'll take it!

1 mile SLOW cool down
