Great run this morning. I stayed up until about one last night. My best friend came down to visit from Draper, and he took us over to the mall. Walked around and stopped in at Gamestop for the fun of it. I found a copy of Grand Theft Auto Vice City for 7 bucks and thought it was a great deal, and my roommate and I needed some new fun game to play. Of course, once we got back to the dorm, the game crashes every five minutes. I guess it's for the same reason Taken is always sold out when I go to see it. It's a sign. Back to the run this morning. Slept from 1 am until 10 am. I woke up earlier at 7:30 and 8, but I wasn't in any hurry to get out the door. Plus, I wanted to wait for the Sun to warm up the air. Finally went running just after 11. I went up University to 9th East and then over to Timp View Dr. Ran the whole length of that street, turned around and then continued down 9th East until the end of campus and back. Total length was just over 8 miles, and the time was 1:02:29 which averages out to 7:35 min/mile. Great, great pace for that distance. As bad as taking all of those weeks off in December and as slow as I've been getting back to running, my body needed that rest. I've improved my pace and form quite a bit. Soon I will be back into some good speedwork, and then my body will improve much more.
