Took advantage of the decent weather this morning and ran outside.  It was great!  I ran 4 miles in 33:41.  (Mile 1, 8:58, Mile 2, 8:49, Mile 3, 7:50, Mile 4, 8:02).  The first 2 miles are slightly uphill, then I turn around and come back.  Pretty happy with that but I still want to do better :)  Thinking about running a 5K in a few weeks, wondering if I could do a sub 8 min/mile pace?  Guess it depends on the course.  Feeling like I need to increase some of my tempo runs.

You gotta love Utah weather.  Did my 10 miles this morning in rain and snow.  It is May 1st, right?  Sometimes I hate living here. . .

Did my 10 in 1:34.  Not too fast this morning.  Kind of tired.  Went to bed early, but woke up shortly after midnight to get registered for Hobble Creek (yeah!!!!).  Glad I did, too, as it filled up by 10 a.m.!!!  That's where I'm planning on killing it this year!  My PR was from there last year, so I only expect great things from that race!

Overall, good run.  The knee is still bothering me somewhat.  Gotta figure out what to do about that.
