Long Run - It has been a crazy 2 weeks capped off with a nasty weekend. (I am writing this the monday after). Crazy work projects are killing me. 11 hour work days during the week then 13 hours on sat and another 14 on sunday gave us the time we needed to pull it off. Things are still hectic as the demo started today and concludes on Wed. I am enjoying a rare moment at home before 8 pm. I don't know how some people can handle 80 hour work weeks. You just never see your family....Anyway, the end is near.... Back to the run. I got up early enough to get in a long run before the long work day began. I decided to head up to the BST trail over to Green Canyon and wander around over there. I took the scenic route through the island and on the Sumac "trail". The shoreline trail was solid ice that early in the morning and was slow but I liked it anyway. I went on a short jaunt up to the start of the singletrack in Green before heading down to 1600 E and taking that north for another mile or so. That gave me 11 miles in 1:23:30. Good enough. Turn around and go home. I decided to push it at the end to get under 2:45. It sure felt good to be home and to get some fluids and food in me. I was famished. T- 2:44:13 (22 miles) (7:28) 157 ave 170 max
