I ran with a whole gang of people this morning up in Park City. We started off pretty slow going through some hills in Park City at the 4.5 mile mark we had been out for about 36 minutes. So, 8 min pace for the first little while. Then, Walter and I started to pick up the pace and the next thing I know the others are completely out of sight. We ended up running down the trail the Park City half-marathon is run on until we got to I-80. At this point we ran next to the highway for a bit and then ended up looping back on a road in the middle of nowhere until we finally made it back to the trail we had been running on earlier. We started heading back to where we started, and eventually we caught up to the rest of the group, finishing with them. We finished in 2:08:00 for 18.2 miles, while the others had gone just over 15 miles during the same time span. I then did 4 100s on the turf at the high school barefoot just to see what it would feel like to finish off my mileage for the day at 18.45. |
