AM- Today was the Game Ball Run day where the ROTC programs from the U and BYU run the game ball from The U stadium to Cougar stadium. U of U hands the ball off to us at the point of the mountain and we run it in from their for 25 miles. The cadets take trns running and jumping in and out of the van. I drove the first 5 miles and then jumped out to run with the cadets from the 5 mile mark. The plan was to run as long as the knee did not hurt. I made it the rest of the way to the stadium without much problems. The knee still hurt a little but not bad. So I got in 19.8 miles at an average pace of 7:40 with two faster miles playing catch up after a bathroom stop. I had to do a 6:15 and a 5:45 mile to catch up. Then I spent the rest of the day at the game. A long day but a lot of fun as well. |
