This was my last run in Arizona, as my sister got married last night. I ran 10 miles in 1:10:39. I think that I finally got the time right for the distance I was trying to run. On the way home, a skateboarder came onto the trail I was running on while I was running a "fat" mile. I passed him, and I think that his pride got the better of him because shortly thereafter he goes flying by me, and was definitely working pretty hard. So, I decided that I was going to hold with him. I sped up a lot, and actually gained on him over the last .5 of my fat mile that was now without doubt anything but a fat mile. I timed myself at 5:11 for that mile, and I think that I might have hit the last .5 in about 2:21. At the end of my fat mile, the skateboarder went back onto the street, and I continued on the trail. After getting back to my granparent's house, I had the blessing of being able to drive 11 hours back to Utah (yuck, I hate driving long distances). I was just a little on the tired side by the time I got home.
