measured out a 9 miler for x-country team. Basically the same as yesterday's run (up Green Springs and onto the trail that connects with the powerline trail, but then cut down middleton trail instead of going up to watertank - I think the kids who are ready for such a long run will really enjoy this one - I have been trying to get some diversity in our runs, different places, terrains, etc...). Anyway ran that and then added a couple miles in the Sandberg's Pond area. I wish the city would buy this land and make a large park there. Fat chance that will happen though - I mean, why make something nice when we can just plow it up and sell it to the highest bidder and stick 8 homes an acre on it? I have no hostility toward the local development, however. Even if it is ruining the Southern Utah that I love! Back to the run. Felt much better then Tuesday. Achilles was a little sore, but it warmed up quick. Kept icing it after. Had about 4 or 5 miles at 6:30 pace and overall ave was at 7:12 (not bad for a desert run). W-152.5 RHR-39 |
