Long run this morning with the usual cast of characters--there were about 8 or so in the group. We started at Foothill Village and ran a south loop out on Wasatch to the foot bridges over the freeway, then contining on Wasatch before dropping down to 33rd So. and a zigzagging return to Foothill. I felt sluggish and just ran conversationally. Back at foothill, this was the end of the first loop, just over 10 miles. Most of the group is not training for anything longer than this, so that was it for them. Lisa Madsen and I continued on for the second ten mile loop, a northern route that covered much of my usual TTIP/Research Park/Federal Heights run. I was feeling better on the second loop, but not as good as Lisa, who was running really strong. I told her she was "kicking my butt today." To which she replied, "I can slow down, if you want." Ouch!! She's running Ogden and should do really well. Sub 3:10 seems extremely likely, sub 3, a distinct possibility depending on the conditions and what kind of day she's having. |
