From home, up around Capitol Hill and up to the 3 mi. mark in City Creek Canyon. It was a little windy at the bottom, but not so bad in the canyon. It was also cool up there! It got slightly chilly in just the singlet, and it's clear that a change in the season will approach fairly soon--even though our days are still warm. I messed up timing my splits on the way down, but I surged for a couple of minutes and it felt decent. I was slow again zig-zagging back down through the Aves to home.

Good mileage this week. What is the next race?

Hobble Creek 1/2. I keep trying to convince myself not to run it but I think I could use the downhill effort for St. George preparation.

Thanks Chad,

It really was one of the better trail races that I've been to, and I've run a fair amount of different trails around the country. Very well organized, great aid stations, and the trails were heaven on earth.

Plan on a huge PR. Probably 1:12. Do not be afraid of crazy mile splits. First 6 miles, if you are getting slower than 5:20, it is too slow. Yes, that's right - 5:20.

Hobblecreek is a great training run for St. George.

1:12 seems impossible but I know it's a fast course. I've looked at your predictor and it shows about the same time based on what I've done previously. However, I'm coming off of a vacation at sea level and a fairly long week of training so far (for me) with no taper, so I'm going to push it but be realistic. Something faster than Provo River would be great. I'll shoot for 5:20 or so the first six and ride it out from there!
