Had to work a little in the morning. Then some family errands. Decided to run while it was still light and did a Memory Grove to the top of City Creek run. It was one of the most perfect running days I can recall. The colors are so beautiful heading up the canyon and the sound of the water in the creek really tops it off. There were so many people out and that helps get me moving. I worked to pass two bikes on the way up. One guy I leap frogged a couple of times before finally dropping him. Up splits were 7:34 to 8:40 pace. Then was the fun of coming down!!! 6:33, 5:55, 5:53, 5:52, 5:41, 5:33, and 5:05!!! How is that for a mile 14 in a training run? Granted that is the mile from the V curve by City Creek down to the liberty bell but I'll take it. Point being my final three miles solo today were faster than my 5K yesterday. Granted this was an infinitely more aided run.
