I decided to run a new area of St George. My 11 & 13 yr old followed on bikes. We rode from bloomington up to the Green Valley Spa Area where the green valley loop trail starts. I ran the first 6 miles at a 9:03 pace. The trail really slowed me down because of steep drops, hard pan and rutty trail. My stabilitzer muscles will be reminding me of this run for the next few days. I was slower on the trail with a 10:54 pace for 4.5 miles. The last 2.5 miles I ran at marathon goal pace (8:31). Total time was 2:04:32 for a 9:35 pace. The trail was fun and beautiful. The boys can't wait to ride that course again. Yesterday, I swam 46 laps. 30 laps I swam at a fast pace to see if my time improved. I did improve 1 minute for a total time of 15 minutes. Next time I will eat the fish taco, macho burrito, 2 regular tacos, and 2 cokes after my swim, not before... yikes!!! |
