PM 15 miles on JRT, started in the north 5300 parking lot and ran South to the end of the trail, continued south on the road to a paved trail just passed the golf club house. We ran to the end of the golf course and it turned into a dirt trail. Kicked up some deer and heard a pheasant. Ran out to the road and saw were the South Jordan part of the JRT started again. So we ran up the road to it and saw a tunnel going under the road back North. We thought we could take it back to the golf course instead of the dirt trail so we started north but the paved trail ends at a fence, looks like they have plans to continue it. I hope they do. Ran back out south and returned back the same way. Braden ran strong tonight. He checked splits most of the way I think our fastest mile was 6:53, but we averaged 7:20's. Does anyone know how far the JRT trail goes south from this point. The golf course was 9300 S. and I would say the road we crossed was probably 10400 S. were the trail started again.
Overall good run, with a couple of miles to go I could feel the weakness in the ankle and a few sharp pains along the way, but flat is okay. When it warms up I don't think much about it. A couple of weeks and I hope we are back where we were. I have had some good suggests on how to strengthen it up as it starts feeling better. Teren said to play catch with a tennis ball standing on only one leg on a trampoline. Right now standing on a flat surface for thirty seconds on one leg is a trick. |
