Solo run up Provo Canyon, 10 miles @ 9:26 mi
9:50/mi up, 8:58/mi down, last mile 8:52

Right outer hip pain level: 3

Even though I ran later than normal, it was still a little breezy and chilly with a headwind on the way up. With sunny blue skies, a tailwind, and yellow leaves on the tree and underfoot, the run back down was beautiful.

I was only planning on 8 miles but got distracted and was at about 4.6 miles before I realized I should have turned around at 4. I figured if I was going to run 9.2 I might as well run 10 so I went on and turned around at 5.
