Wanting to get some miles in but tired of fighting the cyclists in Emigration, I drove down to Liberty Park and ran south along 500 East to Vine Street, then wound around to 900 East, back to 725 East and out to Fort Union and back. Very easy pace on the way out. I picked it up on the way back, but still kept the effort pretty easy (running 6:30s). I was pretty tired during the last couple of miles, but otherwise felt good throughout. I took 6 Shot Bloks (3 over about 3 miles beginning at 8, then 3 more over 3 miles beginning at 14). I just wish I could figure out a way to make them work when I'm at MP. I choked once or twice when I was chewing them around Mile 15, even though I tried to eat them very slowly. Still looking for my energy source for the race.
