Beautiful trail run at Bryce Canyon - I ran from the Sunrise point (stopped to watch the sunrise), then up and down the rim trail almost all the way to Bryce Point.

Loved this run even though I was pretty slow and I felt the 8000+ elevation.

Ran to DHHS track - and jogged around the track for a 2 mile warm-up

3 mile repeats w/ 800 recovery jog:

7:20, 7:19, 7:17  - these felt good and I did not want to push it too much since I will be running a 1/2 marathon this weekend.

1 mile cool-down back home.

I had a fun time at this race.  Mike's family camped out at the start and I went up last night to hang out for a while up there.  then in the morning Natalie and I rode the bus up and went to the campsite again to relax and meet up w/ Rachel & Mike.  I was pretty tired from getting no sleep.

I ran w/ Mike for about 7 1/2 miles.  Then I sped up a tiny bit on miles 7,8,9 - Mike ended up only a couple of minutes behind me.  We tried to be careful to not go out too fast and I did a good job of making my miles splits pretty even.  Mile 7 was a little slower because I had to stop to gaag down the GU & drink.  Mile 10 was a little slow, but I had was able to speed back up for the last three.  The downhill on this run was nice and not too steep down like Bryce.  I really liked this beautiful course!  The race was a little cheep w/ the aid stations, race packets, & treats at the end - but that's ok.

Fun to have another PR!  I felt like I ran strong & hard, but not too hard that I ever felt sick.  I like when I feel great during a race!

Slow miles- didn't even bring my watch. My legs were pretty sore from the 1/2- my left leg especially.

My left leg still not feeling so good after Saturday's run.  This run was at about 8-8:20 min pace, but felt a lot faster maybe because of the muggy weather or because of my sore left leg.  I will take another day off before the long run Sat.

20 miles on the marathon course.  I felt pretty good energywise, but my leg was hurting a little the last few miles so I didn't push the speed - I didn't have my watch which was actually kinda nice - no pressure and the miles seemed to go by pretty quickly.  We finished in less than 3 hours which included 2 pit-stops & and a couple of water walking breaks.  Now I need to strech my IT band and hip - I may redue my mid-week running so that I don't worsen this injury.
