Probably one of the most horrible runs of my life. My goal was to run 20 so that should already clue you in to some crappiness. I had my fuel belt ready to go and started off on the Jordan River Parkway trail from 1700 South. After about a half a mile I ran into a flooded part under the bridge. I was able to get around it on the rocks. Found another flooded part at about 3 miles. Walked through a field and hopped two fences to continue on. By this time my shoes were pretty soaked so that just made me angry. Then at 4 miles I found a part that I would not get past. Decided to give up on the path. Went up and hopped the fence again and ran on the road. By the time I got to 5 miles my achilles was getting painful. This was very random considering I haven't had issues with it at all. I was in a random place pretty far out so I was kinda lost. By the time I got back I was at about 14 miles. I was super stubborn so I kept running for 3 more. I couldn't run Sat and I normally take Sunday off. I went to watch BB run the Ogden marathon. She ran it as a training run and did a great job! |
