For the first time since my fall last week, I felt "smooth" in my stride. I ran out Wasatch to Fortuna and back starting at 4:00 a.m. Pretty lonely time to run. From the light at the gravel pit to Fortuna and back, not one single car or person went by me in either direction. I did see a group of deer at the Old Mill golf course - several buck included with huge antlers. The 4:00 a.m. start was necessitated by a family commitment that required me to be home, getting showered and a suit on, by 7:00 a.m. I made it back in plenty of time, but didn't want to push the envelope too much.
Anyway, I totally rocked the run, although I was definitely wearing very thin by the end of the 20. Time out was 1:11; time in was 1:15, for a total of 2:26. No Gu, of course - I decided to try a few Jolly Ranchers. I'm not sure if they were very effective - next time, I need to remember not to do Cherry - that flavor doesn't agree with me during a run. I noticed on the package that there are 70 calories for every 3 candies. I think I need a little more fuel than those are going to provide me. But at least I did not get sick to my stomach. I am going to need a good nap, I think.
