I had planned on going 10 miles this morning, but the temps and legs were so good that I ended up going 12.  It was a good confidence builder after the previous long run the week before.  It wasn't supposed to be a solo run, but it worked out that way.

I was actually faster on the last couple of miles which was a good sign.

I ran the Virgin River trail loop with Bloomington Hills section included.  I got out a little late, but the temps weren't bad with the exception of the last mile or 2.

Ran out towards Fort Pierce and back.   Hunter had his 1st football game this morning so I couldn't go too far.

Ran 3.25 miles and then we picked up flags in the neighborhood.  Then I finished up my run.

The race starts at Wood's Ranch and then you run back and forth through neighborhoods for the last couple of miles.  The last few miles were tough espcially the last 1.5 or so with the uphill parts after running all of the downhill. 

It was a PR for me which is what I was hoping for.  I was distantly hoping for a 1:30, but wasn't in the shape I've been in for previous half marathon.  I felt good overall about the performance because I don't think I left much in the tank.

I got to visit with Butch on the way up the canyon which was good.
