Beautiful day for running, and I'm so happy I finally got in a long run. My plan was to run up city creek to the 4 mile marker, but somehow I missed seeing that marker (I'd only run up that far once before). I finally passed the 5 mile marker, and decided with only .6 mile left to the very top I should just continue on. So I did and am quite proud that I ran from my house to city creek and then all the way up city creek canyon until the road ends. I never ever did that before and it was my goal to do that before winter came. It was absolutely gorgeous running at the top of city creek!! I felt really strong the whole time running uphill, and only stopped 2-3 times for quick water breaks.
Only problem was after I got to the top, I was faced with running downhill for over 5 miles! I was worried about hurting my knees so I walked the really steep downhill sections and then slowly jogged the rest of the way down. Then ran the last 1.5 miles back up to my house. No garmin, but I estimate I went a total of 14.2 miles today, with at most .7 miles of downhill walking, so I'm logging the total run at 13.5 miles. (I'm finally posting this entry on Monday morning, and I'm very happy that my feet and knees don't seem to be adversely affected from all the running I did. |
