14 mile run w/ St George Running Center group. We meet w/ the group and got dropped off in Dameron Valley - the ride up was fun and reminded me of the old cross country days - lots of people piled into our suburban at 5 a.m. ready to run. This was a lot of fun to start out a run w/ a big group. Paul also ran this and it was the furthest he has gone ever. He did great. My friends and I took it pretty easy for the first 5 miles, which felt good - It seems to always take me a few miles to warm up. After that, we started to pick up the pace. By the end, I was feeling awesome and sped up a little more coming into St. George - my last 4 miles were each between 6:48 & 7:08. Overall the pace was 7:45 (not counting 1 pit-stop). It felt great running downhill and now today my legs are only a tiny bit sore - I guess that means they are adapting to this new obsession of mine. :) After the run, I felt a little sick in the stomach all day - I think it was either the JellyBelly Beans & or the Sodium S-Cap pill I had - most likely the beans- will not eat those again.
