Craig, Cathy , and I ran the St George Marathon Route. We had many other friends out with us today and WOW... what a perfect morning for a run!!!! Shooting stars galore and cool temps! Our goal was to start out easy until we got through the hills and then run it up to goal pace. We started at Baker reservoir and ran to the church on Bluff Street. Veyo hill and dameron hill was not too bad, and then we bumped up to goal pace the rest of the run. We had a Kenyon catch up to us with 4 miles left so we ran with him in to the finish. We felt strong through-out the entire run! We had 2 water stops which added a minute to each mile split. Total time = 2:38 with an average pace of 7:54.
Mile Splits: 8:20, 7:57, 7:40, 7:52, 9:18(veyo hill), 7:55, 8:28(dameron hill 3 miles), 8:15, 9:02(water stop), 7:42, 7:48, 7:39, 7:41, 7:36, 8:27(water stop), 7:32, 7:12, 7:09, 7:18, 6:59.
After Craig and I ran our 20 miles, we jumped on our bikes with Breanna and did the Gunlock loop. We averaged 15.8 mph to Veyo... Lots of Hill Climbing!!! We picked up Jamie at veyo, and we booked it back!!! My garmin died at veyo, but judging from our overall speed, we were blazing some trail!!! Total distance 53 miles and Overall average speed = 19.3 mph with a time of 2 hr and 45 min.
I'm tired, but I feel Great!!! |
