Standing Rest one minute extra   Same after second one except longer used bathroom for cold water face spray.  Probs 3 min extra rest.  Then third one    Then Courtney ready to leave in middle of this one. So finished then went home and ran 0.16 to get 8 miles because I was at 7.84.  Then contemplated and decided to do last speed 3/2/1. Tm at home harder so I stuck it out and got it done. Just old abd bouncy /shifts sometimes but able to concentrate footing. Then jogged until 1.5 miles. Each ten min cycle is 1.28 miles.  Then realized   I was at 9.5 miles so did 1/2 mile more with a minute walk  all with  3 percent incline. Very sweaty.  4 miles speed with the 6.5 mph jog (4 min of the ten)  avg 7:48!  Best so far in like two years woty feeling good.

Mount Timponogos Tenple with Paula. Sat by Brenda as well.  Saw Michelle's mom.  Paula and I parked right by each other !  Crazy.  Full parking lot !  Jogged at home 6-6.4 mph.  1 mile ar each. Then increases at 5 -6 Th mile every 1/4 mile.   Every .05 mile last 1/4 mile.  So ended at 7.5 mph.  57:22 fir 6.  Needed a jog day.   Kind of wiped out. Also tried escalante racers.  Not sure yet.  Love color. And fit.  Just may not have enough cushion.  Gonna wait until not tired. And also skinnier.
