Long run this morning from Foothill Village to points north and south. We had a group of 10-12 for the first 8.5. We ran a north loop into Federal Heights and back. Then Aimee, Sam, and the two Brads and me headed south on Wasatch blvd. The Brads turned back after a mile or two. The three of us then continued south to the footbridges. To our surprise, the new bridge was open, crossing from the bottom of Parley's into Tanner Park. This is a huge project. Tanner Park is a nice place to run, but too many dogs, especially for Aimee who felt under seige. Sam turned back after Tanner Park and then Aimee and I continued on through Holladay to 3900 South, returned via the normal Radda route and then zigzagging back to Foothill, with a long stretch up 2100 E, site of Thursday's tempo run. Aimee turned back for 20 miles, I added another mile just to see how it would feel (it was fine . . . mile 21 of a long run).
The early miles were mostly slow, but we increased late in the run. Average pace 7:33.
