11 miles today. Eight easy and 3 at a pretty good pace going uphill towards the end of the run.
I actually ran with someone today. I thought I was racing, I don't see to many people where I run. I ran with my brother in law, who's been training pretty hard for the Bryce Canyon Half. It was his last long run and the longest he's ever ran, so I decided to run the 11 with him to see if I could be of any assistance. I was surprised to see how fast and prepared he is for Bryce. He's 21 and has been training pretty seriously over the last 3 months for his first half. I'm sure he'll run a sub 7 minute mile on race day. We ran at 7200 feet, I didn't really seem to notice the elevation.
We saw two red tailed foxes. We spoke of the beneifits of running and race day stratagies for potty breaks.
