AM: Up in Brian Head with my family so it took some motivation to get out of the very relaxing cabin to go run. I had a 10 miler today and it was definitely a confidence builder. I had to run up a really long and steep hill right around mile 2 and 3 and it was basically was a slow uphill from there. I thought I would never reach the 5 mile mark to turn around and head down hill. It finally came and for mile 5, 6, 7 and 8 I had sub 7 minute pace, I found some energy and flew down the hills. One of my miles was even sub 6 pace going down the huge hill. By the end I was pretty tired from the altitude and just the long run but it was very rewarding. |
