LONG RUN

Met up with Riley and Jon at my place at 6:30 and started our journey up to Sardine Canyon. We parked a car at the bottom in  Brigham City and drove my car to the top. My wife was already doing the same run so she was nice enough to pick my car back up at the top so all we had to do is run down and go home.

We warmed to a PORT a RILEY first then ran back for a mile on this Beautiful dirt road that looked like it went clear down into Hyrum. Was gorgeous, tree covered it looked like for majority of the way. Turned around then when we got back to the road we started the Aerobic Builder. Riley had an idea in mind to run 12 miles or so at sub 6 then cool for a mile then give it everything for 3 miles then we would cool down together.

Splits for the tempo

First three were down hill which surprised me that they were one of the slowest, besides my legs felt garbage and didn't know what to expect for the entire run anyways. I also thought that my grave was being dug slowly.

6:00; 6:02; 5:56; 5:47; 5:58; 5:54; 5:51; 5:46; 5:49: 5:49; 5:44; 5:45. (splits were from Riley's blog)

Cooled for about a mile then did 3 miles with what ever we had left.

my splits were 5:34; 6:36(uphill and thought I was done for the day)5:40 for the last mile.

Overall great run for myself! I came out nicely and personally think that this is my best workout that I have done. The run was gorgeous. I will definitely do this run more often. Running around Mantua is a cool experience, the water looked enticing, pure glass the entire time we ran around it.
