A fun 15 miles in St. George. I went down there for Easter to visit my mother-in-law. The weather Saturday morning was perfect, absolutely perfect, it couldn't have been any better. It was a really nice morning for a run. Did I mention the weather was perfect? I ran 15 miles without water. I know, that wasn't very smart, but the weather was perfect, and I was relaxed. I couldn't stop going. I told my wife I'd be gone an hour and a half or so but I actually planned on 2 hours, easier to get forgiveness than permission. But when I actually got out there, the weather was perfect and I couldn't stop.
I ran out to the entrance to Snow Canyon State Park. I wish I would have even had more time, but I was pushing it with the 2 plus hours I actually ran. There was no crash like there was last week. I think a big part of the difference was my diet. Last Friday night I had a big steak, this time I had fried rice, the week before when I had that nice 18 miles I had pasta the night before. I hope it is that simple.
Well, my running has been a little sparse. It couldn't be helped. Thursday I had to be into work early and home late and Friday I had more work than I could fit in before leaving for St. George. So it was a pretty crappy week. It is actually Monday now when I'm writing this report and I missed this morning again because we got back late last night. I have a huge work week again so I don't know that I will get very many miles in this week. The marathon will suffer but that is the way it goes. Here is a picture of the road up to Snow Canyon State Park. I sure would have liked to keep running. |
