Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Long run with Cody, Paul, and Ruth with my work running group, who supplied aid stations. Cody and I ran 2 miles before leaving, then everyone drove up Blacksmith Fork Canyon. Cody and I ran 3 miles up to the TOU start, then turned back down. Cool morning, slight breeze- perfect running weather. We caught Paul and Ruth at mile 3 and ran with them till mile 12. Then Cody and I did 2 MP miles, followed by running up the big hill into Hyrum (good practice for St. George mile 19), then back to Hollow Road and to the end. Last 5 miles were 5:49, 5:48, 6:04 (with hill), 6:22, 6:16, then 5:38 pace for the last .5 mile. We sprinted the last bit to catch Paul and Ruth again. Finished with juice, bananas, and bagels. Yummy. Felt good the whole way, especially at the end- my legs weren't really fatigued and I could have added on 2-3 more MP miles with minimal difficulty. That's what running very low miles this week does to my legs. Ruth was a real trooper and put up with our antics and did a good job keeping up at a fast pace despite a nasty cold. Hopefully her coach won't be too mad that she ran 17 miles...

22.75 miles, 2:36:58, 6:54 pace. Not bad. Round down for 22.5 miles.

Glad to hear that your foot is better and you certainly ran smartly this week to get you back to this kind of running so quickly.
