Up before dawn for a run. With 11:00 kickoff at RRS, I need to be in Springdale by 9ish, so the run started at 6:05 on the horseshoe loop. Very slow up to SHS and then got loose; the downhill didn't hurt either. I figure I need to average about 7.3 for the rest of the year to get to 2000, so adding extra tenths every chance I get. Maybe some year I'll average 7.3 for the year. Anyway, I'm getting a decent base built. Might need to throw in some intervals or tempo soon.

Haven't decided yet. Probably won't do another 26.2 until next fall.
