AM- Long run back in good ol' Logan. It was OH SO GLORIOUS to run in cool weather again (though the ride to the top in the jeep with no top was chilly- we did see a bull moose, though). Ran with my work running club today. Allie and Cody came. Cody and I started running at mile 4 of TOU course, ran to the top, then down to the end of Hollow Rd, with gatorade provided every 3 miles courtesy of Marty and the club. We ran most of the way down with Allie and Russ Bennett, while MattRow ran ahead. Pace was about 6:45-7:00. At mile 14, Cody and I picked it up to 6:05-6:30 pace for a while. We caught Matt at an aid station and made him run with us for a few miles, plus we dragged him up the hill into Hyrum as practice for SGM. Finished up the run of 21.5 miles in 2:23:33, 6:42 avg. Felt a bit tired but good, other than a knot/charlie horse in my right calf. Easier week next week leading up to TOU 1/2, then a few more hard weeks. This is my 3rd 100+ mile week in the past 4 weeks, so rest is needed.

MattRow ran a great workout today- 20 miles all averaging faster than his goal MP! Wow! That's a hard workout- it will definitely make him better for the marathon.

thanks for letting me know about this. i had a great time today. you guys are crazy for running up that hill...you better mention that to scott. he thinks our tailwind/downhill run was too easy :) maybe mine was, but yours wasn't.

As Paul would say, "eh, 1/4 mile uphill doesn't make up for 21 downhill miles..."

From Jon on Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 16:32:11 from 75.169.140.152

Glad you could make it, too, and enjoy talking to Russ.

I liked that run when we did it two years ago.

Another great week - good job Jon.

Seriously great running!

It was a good run you are an animal running up that hill. I can't believe you got me to run up that hill.

if I had known there was going to be all that free food and the tailwind I would have joined you guys. You sure know how to throw a party. And run fast. And eat bagels. If there were a fast bagel eating competition you would win for sure.

Wish I could have ran with you guys today. We'll just have to make a date in the BSF next Saturday...

Sounds like a real fun and cool run training wise to do, excellent well done Jon :-)
