9 miles up to Providence Canyon.

Final day of the big project at work.  We are putting an LED sign on the side of a bus with the potential of thousands of future sales based on this one sign.  It was a rush job to say the least.  I started writing code for my two pieces of the project about a month ago.  I wont bore you with the technical details, but I do have to say it is cool.  Well, I wasn't ready.  Partly my fault, but mostly due to circumstances out of my control.  I had to pull an all-nighter to get it perfect.  I made it with 20 mins to spare. What a day! 28 hours straight at work getting home at 11:30 on Wed.  That was after 13 hours on sat and 14 on sun.  Ok, I am done whining. 

Here is a shot of the sign with my phone camera-

Dry Canyon with Jon - 

A very fun run in some rough conditions.  The weather was perfect but the snow...  The snow was deep enough that if you wandered off the trail even the slightest bit, you sunk in up to the hips.  We both took some great spills on the way down.  Nothing like running sub 6 min pace and then ending up on your stomach buried up to the waist.  Good times.  The time flew by and before too long we had to turn around.  I am glad though because the legs and lungs were sure getting a workout in.

Super Long Run - 

Longest run I have done since my last marathon, and probably my longest training run ever.  And it came the day after some deep snow mountain climbing.  My legs were sure not happy today.  The day started out rough as I had an alarm clock malfunction and woke up at 6:30.  That meant that I missed the Paul and Walter run I was planning on. That put me in a bad mood right off the bat.  My plan B involved running 2 miles to mile 24 of the TOU course and spending some quality time on my feet.  The plan was 24 miles in under 3 hours.  I completed the first 8 in 58:30 and had built up a cushion of 1:30.  The middle 8 were rough, but I made up a bit more time coming down Hollow Road.  16 miles in 1:56.  So I only have to do 8 miles in 64 mins to make it.  I am going to easily make it.  Better make my goal a little harder.  How about 7:20 pace (2:56).  I would need to do 7:30 pace over the last 8 to make it.  I had some good sections and other sections where I thought I would die.  I stopped at a church to get a drink at mile 20 and that revived me enough to actually make it the full distance.  I was able to keep chugging along even dropping down to 7 min pace for the last mile.  I was totally spent.  Goal Exceeded I collapsed on my floor never to move again.
