Single: Really fun, really easy, group
run in Park City. We were graced by Clyde’s presence coming up from St. George
for the second weekend in a row. He suggested getting a group together and I’m
glad he did. We ended up having eight people show up including (Clyde, Megan,
Josh, Chad, Walter, Jeff MC, and Steve C.). Chad was kind enough to give me a
ride up to Park City. We met at the high school and all headed out into the
hilly neighborhoods. My legs were still wrecked from last weekend and by 2-miles
I was seriously thinking I was going to be in trouble. The good news is that
when Walter and Jeff got antsy and took the lead the rest of the group wasn’t
biting and kept the easy pace. We finally crested the high point of the run and
started downhill and my legs started to loosen up. We were having a good time
and joking around just making the miles fly by. Then we decided to make our out
and back a loop course. Problem being that there was no loop to be had. So we
ended up making our own by going off road for about a quarter mile through
brush and what not ending up in some one’s backyard. Then we made it back to
the road we started on and a few miles later Walter and Jeff show up out of nowhere
having run 3 more miles than us. I’m glad the whole group hadn’t gone with them
or I wouldn’t be alive to be writing this. After a quicker final mile we went
to the high school track. While some of the group did a mile on the track I did
barefoot strides (8x100yd) on the turf. I really like stretching out my legs
this way after a long run. I did it a lot in St. Louis but don’t have a “good”
finishing spot to do that here… After some more chatting everyone but Jeff went
to eat breakfast. Overall a great run and some fun company. Clyde, thanks again
for suggesting it. I had to go into work for about three hours afterwards and
then in the afternoon ended up taking Kaitlyn for a 2-mile walk (she had the
shade of the stroller) and watched while she played with another 2-yr old at
the park. It is so funny how little kids interact. Mi 16-T2 Avg. ???
