| | No real idea what my pace was. My GPS was going beserk—it thinks I climbed over 5000 ft in my eight miles. I mapped out the run and think I'm safe in saying it was 8.5 miles, although it might be slightly more. The run felt pretty good, though. |

| | Ran ten with Jeremy, then two with Stacie. Last six were on my own (except for the handful of blocks where the friendly, somewhat strange bike guy kept catching up to me). Man was it hot by the end! My legs held up really well. 9:24/mile |

| | Ran the first half with my sis, so my pace was a bit slower than usual. Tried to pick up the pace and finish strong. I'm thrilled with passing 50 miles for the week! |

Bryce Canyon Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:46:50, Place overall: 197, Place in age division: 22 | | What a beautiful race! I ran without a GPS and just listened to my body. I had no real goal for the race—I just ran to enjoy it. The first 4–5 miles of the race, I was getting passed by tons of people. I decided I wouldn't let it bother me and I'd just run what felt comfortable to me. After those first miles, I started to pass others. I'm guessing that I had either really consistent times or a negative split on this course. I PR'd my half time by two minutes, so I was totally stoked. My gel fell out of my pocket (unbeknownst to me) around mile 4, so Gatorade was my only fuel on this one. Still felt great at the end. The extra miles are paying off! |

| | This run felt pretty good until mile 14. Then I felt the fatigue in my legs. I went in anticipating some fatigue left over from the race, so it wasn't discouraging. Just a slow run. |

| | Taking it easy this week. I'm feeling some tightness/pain behind my left knee. Not behind the kneecap, behind the knee. I'm hoping it's just from tight muscles and not an injury. |
