I met up with Sariah to do a trappers loop workout. We met at Sinclair in Mountain Green. It was dark almost the whole run. We started out by running out 2 miles on a flat road then 2 miles back, then headed up Trappers loop 4 miles. The uphill miles on Trappers loop went by surprisingly fast. The plan was for me to do a 5 mile tempo down Trappers so I could practice for Snow Canyon. I did this workout 2 years ago except this time I did 4 miles of all down hill and finished my last mile on the flat road. Sariah helped push me along especially the 5th mile when I thought about quitting. Splits were 6:28, 6:23, 6:27, 6:36, 7:04. My downhill miles were about right but I was hoping to maintain 6:45 for the last flat mile. But I couldn't quite will myself to go faster even with Sariah pulling me along. Splits from 2 years ago 6:56, 6:30, 6:18, 6:16, 6:32 these were all downhill miles.
