AM 8.00 miles with XC team Started at Sunnyside Park and headed East up Sunnyside passed the zoo to where the Des News course hits Wasatch. Ran along wasatch to Thunderbird and down to foothill, head south to the drinking fountain at the Parleys trail. Then back along foothill to 1300 S. down to 1900 East north to sunnyside and down to the park. The entire loop is 7.5 so we add the grass loop at the end. Felt good with the effort. Yesterdays run was 7:14 avg and today was 7:18. With a first two miles of straight uphill and a head wind coming out the canyon. Legs are starting to snap. As I cut back the mileage under me will be nice. Avg about 97 miles a week for the last 4 weeks. and the first week was in the heat and humidity of Florida. I have about 30 kids from the team running in the 10K and a couple going to do a half up north. So they give me a pumped fist or a yay when they ask me how many miles for the week and I tell them a much lower number than they expect. Hoping to have them come cheer me in on the course once they are done. |
