Bear Lake. Heather and I drove up to the cabin last night and got in fairly late, just enough time to eat a bit,chat with the rest of the family, and go to bed. I wanted to get out the door before 6am, but Heather wanted to run with me, and she doesn't like the early hours on the weekend, so we didn't get out until before 7am. We drove down to Pickleville and parked, then ran for an hour on some lonely roads. It was cool and already sunny. We got in about 7.5 together. Heather headed back up to the cabin, and I headed north along the lake road through Garden City and turned around just after crossing the Idaho border. It was then a long 6.5 back. I got very hungry and stopped and bought a banana and a gatorade. That helped me avoid a bonk, as I don't think I ate enough carbs last night. I pushed the last couple of miles to 7 minute pace. Came back to the cabin, took an ice bath, then had a massive plate of eggs, pancakes and potatoes. I always say, the best part of running is the overeating! |
