There were seven of us at the start of the run. We headed south from 15th/15th toward Holladay. We ran along Wander Lane to Holladay Boulevard, stopping at the Cotton Bottom to refill water bottles at the hand-pump driven hose on the side of the restaurant. On the way out, the pace was easy, about 7:30 or so. Once we turned around, Brad, Adam, Aimee and I picked it up a bit, clicking off a few faster miles at about 6:15-6:30. Brad peeled off at a gas station to "drop the kids off at the pool" and we continued our return via a less scenic but slightly shorter route, through the gully and back to 15th/15th. Our pace for the last 4 miles was about 6:50-7:00. Aimee peeled off at her house, and it was just Adam Wende and me at the end until the others caught up. "Enjoyed" an ice bath at home afterward. |
