run, run, run

I finished reading "Once A Runner" yesterday and needed to return the book before leaving town tonight, so I decided to run it back. It only seemed appropriate. The library at Five Mile and Victory is 5 miles from my house, so it worked out well for a 10-miler.

I don't like leaving that late in the morning this time of year. When I left it was 32 so I wore a couple of layers, but by the time I got back it had gone up 10 degrees and I was feeling a little too warm.

I decided to run after work. The weather isn't that cold and I was able to leave from the Deseret News instead of from the hotel on 6th South. That allowed me to get out of downtown quicker and made for a more pleasant run.

As I was running up the hill in the avenues I started feeling funny. Kind of light-headed, so I decided to walk the last steep stretch up to 11th Ave. After the route leveled off it went away and I was able to enjoy the rest of the run.

I've been leaving from work at the Des News all week. Tonight I looked in my bag and discovered that I'd forgotten a crucial piece of workout gear. Let me just say that running comando at 30 degrees isn't fun. But you really didn't want to know that did you?

I took the same 7 mile route, but took it backwards, up the hill to the capitol and then across the canyon to the avenues. It was a nice change of pace.
