I am in SLC for the weekend. Thought briefly about doing the 10K but I race enough and didn't want to compromise the training. I needed to get some brake work done on the car so I drove over to Big-O by my parents house and dropped the car off. I then hit the streets for my run. I did 13 miles including some of the nastiest hills ever. East bench is all hills. I was hitting 8 min miles going up and 6 coming down. I was back on my old stomping grounds so I ran one of my favorites. "Animal" 8 miles of hills. Brighton High school up to Big Cottonwood Canyon to Top of the World drive to the "La Calle" sign down danish rd and back to Brighton. Back in high school, I was pretty happy to break an hour for this run. Today that 8 mile portion was 56 mins. Sweet. After 13 miles, I stopped off at my parents house for a drink and to check on the car. The car was done, so I ran over to pick it up. 2 miles. On the way, I helped push a truck out that was stuck in some deep snow. I am beat now. Better take a nap. 70 miles for the week. Mission accomplished. T-1:42:42 (6:51) 163 |
