I left home at 5:35, running a 3 mile route meet up with the group at 9th/9th at 6am. We then ran a 9.5 mile route. We ran through downtown, then ran the first surge all the way up Memory Grove to the bottom of City Creek Canyon. Easy from there up to 11th Ave/B Street. Then the big push up to the fire station on 11th Ave. Casey K. and I were both going anaerobic by the end of this one mile push. Didn't get a split; didn't need one. My gasping for air was all I needed to know it was a decent effort. Then easy most of the way back until Casey decided to go hard with about 1/3 mile left, and we finished with a hard but fun push at the end that left us all laughing. After a hot chocolate milk and a banana, I ran home 1.5 miles.
