Chad

It was my first run back since the crash on the bicycle.  The ribs were quite sore when I first headed out, but they slowly got better.  At times, I would get a sharp pain, but for the most part they held up pretty well. 

Dace and I ran from our homes to the trailhead, and did the loop through Tonaquint and Bloomington then through Bloomington Hills.  The heat did me in.  We started at 3:50 pm., and it was a little warm this afternoon.  We had a head wind a good part of the way as well.  We kept it at a pretty easy pace most of the way which I needed due to the heat and injury.

It was a good test.  It felt good to get out and run again.

I was supposed to meet up with Dace at the trail, but I was a little late because I couldn't find my remote to my car.  I started to run, but decided to go back to the car and meet up with him at the Confluence trailhead.

The ribs felt pretty good after the first couple of miles.  The downhill is a little jarring, but they held up for the most part.

Dace and I met at the park and drove up the St. George course 15 miles. We started basically at the top of the Dammeron hill, and ran into the park. We wanted to get some more downhill in before the marathon. I felt decent, but I think my ribs are hurting me a little with my breathing.

I was able to finish the diagonal miles up strong which was good.
