Had to arise at 4 am to meet the carpool going up to run Brighton Loops. I thought it was pretty nutty -- all that work just to train at 9000 feet. But what do I know? I'm just a neophyte. The runamok group has been doing this for a while. The snow storm was great! Pretty as a postcard. I saw a lot of Christina's friends that she always talks about: Andrea, Craig, Coach Bill, and ... Alicia? -- the one who has all the BYU energy..And of course, T1 and T2.
They ran about 9-10 loops while I ran 6. Each loop was 3/4 mile. It was actually pretty fun and a nice change from the usual 10 mile, slow pace run that I do on Saturdays. 6x0.75 miles When runners passed me they said, "Looking Good!". And coach Bill said, "Someday you will be as sick as the rest of us!". So these are very friendly and motivating People. I can see why Christina loves running with them so much.
