10M Trail Run @ Usery. Followed Run/Walk protocol, with a 1min walk at the top of every 15min. The short breaks allows me to recover and actually push a faster pace for longer distances.

16M Trail Run @ San Tan. Completed the Malpais loop (10M) followed by the + 9K loop. Only stopped running for a few breaks and to shed the long sleeve shirt in-between loops. Consistent pacing for the whole run, felt strong.
