A couple of years ago I told my Dad how I wanted to run from Oak Grove to St. George. He didn't like the idea and thought it would be too hard. Well today was the day we tried it out! We drove a couple miles up the Oak Grove road because we knew that time was working against us. We started right around 6. I was pretty optimistic for the first 7ish miles then the climbs kept coming. I didn't expect to have that much climbing. Miles 8-10.5 were the worst. By the time we started getting some rolling hills my legs were already hammered. I endured and made it to the pavement on the turkey farm road. I think if we had more daylight I would have tacked on more mileage. So maybe not the full distance I once envisioned but still a really good workout. 19.25 miles
