Burning again last night.  Head.  Right hip.   Spine.   Girls running 20 wallsburg but I am up watching stranger things for second tint since it came out. And just didn't feel ready for  20.   But at 630 am I managed to get up and drive to Provo mouth of canyon.  I was thinking maybe 8 up and down. Of hard turn at 7 or 6.   Well I got to 6 at south fork drinking fountain. Like a tenth after and ran to 9.1 so as to not have to run into parking lot at finish.  I was at 18.16 at finish.  Stopped 30 seconds eternal fountain.  And campground. And south fork.  Then at turn around probs two min.  Them at south fork potty for two min. Then base of south fork 1 min.  Campground 30 sec.  and eternal fountain 1 min. 7.5 min stoppage.  Left 7:02:30.  Back 9:45.   Walked to car.   Other half of banana and Powerade zero.  11 min later rather than be done I decided  to run up a mile to just past eternal fountain.  More like up 0.92 as I did 18.16.  And back.   Jogged this.  Than iced for 14 min. The girls happen to get done at exact same time. And were icing up at Timp story park. Avg pace 8:32.  
splits 9:34/8:55/8:47/8:50/8:38/8:33/9:21/9:07/9:10/8:32/8:24/8:09/8:20/8:21/7:55/8:03/8:03/ 7:34/break   Back up 8:44/8:17
