| Ivins, UT. 6:30 a.m. 21 miles. Snow Canyon Parkway Trail from our place in Ivins to Halfway Wash Trail down to end of trail at Dixie Drive. Followed bike lane down to Santa Clara trail, but two portions are still washed out along the river. Followed dirt path detours at those locations. Followed trail to the new sections towards the confluence of Santa Clara and Virgin rivers. Headed east along the Virgin River trail into Washinton and about a half mile on the Washington Millcreek trail before turning back and taking the spur trail off of the Virgin River Trail towards Gold's Gym. Underestimated the distance and ended up running 21 miles. H2O stashed or available at 5, 12, and 17 miles. Felt pretty decent. Hit the hot tub and pool after getting back. An encouraging run. 3:05:56 for 20. Very even-paced effort. Splits: fastest only at 8:47, slowest at 9:48. |

| Ivins, UT. 7:00 a.m. 20 miles in 3:05:20. Nice morning run from our place along the Snow Canyon Parkway trail, then down the Halfway Wash trail to Dixie Drive, then along what's still in place on the Santa Clara trail through the new Confluence connection to the Virgin River trail over into Washinton and back to Gold's Gym via the Middleton Wash trail to meet Sharon. About the same as two weeks ago minus 36 seconds. Felt pretty good. 60 mile week. Time to taper for SGM. Starting to get excited for it. It''s been a long two years! The every other week extra long run seemed to work well and kept me healthier. |
