The plan was for Michelle to pick me up at then meet Angela at Porcupine Grill at 6:10. Michelle called at 5:40 to let me know her car had been stolen from her garage and she couldn't go. I felt so bad for her. :( I picked up Angela at Porcupine and we drove 14 miles up Big Cottonwood to the Brighton store. I had planned on running 20, but without Michelle I just couldn't talk myself into it. Angela and I kept a pretty good pace. I had a bad side stitch on my left side for about a mile. That was painful. I still felt fatigued from running Hobble Creek last week so maybe it was good I didn't run the full 20. That means I will most likely run 20 next week. I actually ran the 13 miles today faster than I ran Hobble Creek. My time for the 14 miles was 1:46. Average pace 7:35. I'm hoping if I run 20-30 seconds per mile slower for the Big Cottonwood Marathon the last 12 won't be too miserable. |
