Had a great run this morning with Chet. Got out early and it was a bit chilly when we started. Good thing Chet had an extra pair of gloves I could borrow. Did almost the same route I did a couple weeks ago to mimick the Ogden Marathon course. Started in Eagle Mountain at the maverick in the ranches. Went south through the ranches and down past the high school, linked into the JRP trail and went north. Cruised along past Thanksgiving point up past Camp Williams to the beginning of the trail, then headed back to the iron bridge where we left a vehicle earlier. Got to see all the runners out for the Thanksgiving point half. I was nervous the trail would be closed. I swear I saw Walter flying by. Miles were as follows:
8:03,8:02,7:56,7:55,7:59,7:52,7:51,7:53,7:56,7:52,7:47,7:59,7:39,7:53,7:48,8:00,7:42,7:42,7:31
,7:29,7:34,7:14
Run felt pretty good. My back pain was minimal and I think it should be back to normal next week. Overall another confidence booster for the marathon in a couple weeks. AP 7:48. |
