7.50 in 59:52.  7:59 avg pace.  Did almost half of the short cemetary loop and then turned around and came back the same way. It was bitter cold any time I was running north or west, which is where the wind was coming from.

8.0 in 1:01:25.  7:41 avg pace.  Ran up Center St. and then up 300 West and then pretty much back home.  Threw in some strides.  Warmer today, but I was bundled up pretty good.  Good morning run though.

5.25 in about 40:00.  Right around 7:40 pace.  Went up Center and back essentially.  Weather was the best it's been all week and I felt  good. Looking forward to racing tomorrow. I'm going to have fun with it and hopefully just come in around the 1:30:00 mark.........and I am promising myself to start slow and be the one that is passing people at the end and not getting passed.

As I mentioned yesterday, I really wanted to have a good time at this race, and that meant no pressure to hit a certain time and starting off conservatively so that I could push at the end.  My plan worked great.  This was probably my best racing experience of the year.  Starting off easy made all the difference in the world for me.  

No need to show mile splits since the mile markers were all over the place.  Course may have been short, but I'm sure running down the first canyon could easily make your garmin lose satellite.  This race is getting big now.  Last year it was relatively small, but it is getting more and more popular.  It was great to go relatively slow the first 5 miles (which are ridiculously fast) and then eventually pass most of the people during the last 3 miles that had passed me at the beginning.  I can tell I've lost some fitness over the last month, but this was a great way to get in some faster miles.  This course has got to be close to being as fast as Hobble Creek.  Great costumes, great race, and glad I did it.
