High-elevation hill run at ZionPonderosa Resort.  Hopefully this will help me get ready for the RedRockRelay next weekend.  I was super exhausted after though - maybe because of the high elevation.

Red Rock Relay

1st run - 4.6 gradual uphill the whole way.  The hill did not get me here - it was the high elevation that slowed me down a little on this run.  My lungs were burning!  This was at about 9500 ft.  I managed to keep the run around 8:40 which was slower than I was hoping for, but I know I worked hard.  I passed 2 people on this run. Luckily someone at the top of my run let me use a few puffs of his inhaler - grateful for that or I would have been coughing all night.

Midnight run - 3.6 miles - I felt great on this run.  This was a gradual, but slightly steaper hill heading from Enterprise up into Dixie National Forest.  The elevation was high, but nothing like the last run.  around 6000 ft.  I tried not to look at my watch and just judge my speed based on how I was feeling. I know I was working hard and it felt great.  I passed 11 people on this run, I was motivated by each red light up ahead of me and I worked to catch up with them.  My pace ended up being 8:10 which for me is good going uphill.

Red Rock Relay

I split my last leg w/ Brook since the guys took one extra leg.  I ran 2.5 miles on a hilly course in Hurricane.  It was kind of fun going up and down those rollers.  My energy was great on this run, but the run was so short.  I was finished right when I was just getting into the groove.

A little while later, Brook was done with the other 1/2, but Cheri was in the bathroom, so I took the bracelet and headed up the hill in Hurricane for about a minute or two till they caught up w/ me - it was fun running up that hill knowing I would be rescued any minute. :)

Later we met up with Annie & Jake's van - I ran w/ Annie for a mile of her tough 7 mile leg.  She was doing awesome and it was fun to see her.  I let her go ahead and decided I would just run and slow it down for a while.  After pushing myself, it felt good to just run slow for a few miles and loosen up.

Snow Canyon - early morning run.  We really took it a little slower than usual, which felt good.  There was a lot of dirt, sand and rocks on the road from the flood yesterday and I hurt my toe a little on a rock.  All day my left knee/outer thigh, glute have been really aching even with icing a few times.  Not sure if I should run again before the long one on Sat.
