Made it out to basketball this morning, so that was good to at least get out of bed. I shouldn't be as busy after school today, so I'm planning on running between 4 to 6 miles. Ran from the La Verkin Overlook, down the twist into La Verkin past the city park and then home 5.5 easy 7:25 avg. I did this route because La Verkin City is wanting to host a road race Easter Weekend. The plan they want is to do a 10K (out 3.1 miles and back) starting at the city park running up the "twist" state road heading toward Zion. However, I think a 5K or a 4 mile race might be more appealing. Especially if you dropped people off up at the top and just let them run downhill, that would have the potential of being a very fast 5K. However, I actually like the idea of running a 4 mile race, which would actually have people starting at the very top of the La Verkin Overlook. In my opinion it would be kind of a cool place to hang out and stretch before the race, being able to look over much of valley below. Anyway, if anybody reading this blog has any ideas please let me know. Also today was the last run in my orange Asics Nimbus, they now have over 400 miles and have been a lot better shoe than I thought they were going to be. At first, I hated them (they seemed too heavy), but over time I actually found them to be pretty comfortable and a good training shoe. |
