Ran this relay with Bill, James, Logan and Hayden. Had sworn that I wouldn't do another relay, but this was pretty fun. First leg was 7.3 down from Snow Canyon to the Bluff/Parkway corner. A good drop, but since it was on the trail, it also had some tough climbs. The hardest part were the killer drops though - so steep that it hurt my legs a lot. Ran it pretty quick (went through 10K in about 33:30). Cooled down a little and went on with the race. The second leg was from the end of the Industrial Park down the new road to the Southern Corridor Freeway and along it to Sun River. Ended up being just over 6 miles. I didn't think things were going to work out as I warmed up. My hip had tightened up so bad that I could barely walk. But it slowly warmed up and allowed me to run, but it was a struggle. Things were pretty much around 6 minute pace the whole way (give or take a little). We easily won as a team and it was a good time. (Cumulus gold 463.5)(Ohana 204.85) Saw some improvements in the hip and some set backs this week. I'll just keep working on it and try to keep it getting better. Goals for next week: Get up a few days/sleep a few days. Keep mileage moderate. Train hard a little and see how it feels.
