I ran my long run, which is 8 laps at Little Valley School/Soccer fields. I went easy today, as i just wanted to listen to the Ipod and relax after yesterday's race. Each lap is 1.23 miles, and my lap times were 9.52, 9.45, 9.32, 9.25, 9.28, 9.10, 9.03 and 8.38. Total time with another 0.14 to finish up ten miles was 1:16:08, or 7.37 per mile.
I was pondering different changes in life, as we had a grad party last night for Stefani, my oldest daughter that is graduating from Pine View High School and headed to BYU in the fall. Wow, that went fast, she really should be in 4th or 5th grade now. Also, i could have a job change soon, so things keep changing.
Then i started focusing on something i have noticed since i run in the parks, and it is a problem both in Vegas and St.George. Why do people litter so much? As i do each of my loops, i notice all the trash lying around, and there is literally, a garbage can less than 10 feet away. It really bugs me. I try and pick up 4 or 5 pieces of trash, and i think of it as an "admission" fee for letting me jog on the field.
