I am going to call all the 20 miler miles fast because THIS COURSE WAS TOUGH HILLY. We were convinced there were more uphill then down although it is a loop course. So how is that possible? Probably because it ROLLED upward and was more direct coming back for just three miles. Will unload garmin later and see elevation gain. SUPER HILL 20 MILER. And I am the one who mapped out the route. We were glad (Mel and I) not to be running on the UVM course on the hard cement and highway speed cars flying by. This run we could hear birds chirping and not worry we were going to be hit at any moment. We had quite the fun group--- Mel, Jane, Kim and JulieE. So of course my brain and body were like "HELL---O!!!" another fast 20. And we (Kim, Mel and I) are running the Speedy Spaniard on Monday (24th of July Holiday here in Utah, celebrating the pioneers). And like hey we just ran the Bryce Half LAST Saturday. Amazing how quickly we forget such things. Basically I awoke at 4:40am (poor sleep once again, but I did take 1/2 a benadryl at 8pm to see if that would help, nope). I ran over to Kim's house to "warm up" because these Lassies take off right at the planned pace (7:30!!). What in the heck? I am still in sleep mode. But I stuck just behind them a few seconds for three miles and then on the long uphill (my mile 5) I picked it up and stayed with them the rest of the way. Warm up 1.17 miles @ 9:08 pace. So nice. Four water stops, NICER. Ate one GU, one chomp square, and 1/2 a fruit bar. And THEN 20 miles @ 7:23 AP Splits: 7:28, 7:29, 7:37 (HILL), 7:31, 7:18, 7:17, 7:19, 7:22, 7:34, 7:42 (BIG DIPPITEY HILL), 7:51 (continuing the CLIMB), 7:17, 7:32, 7:15, 7:24 (LOTS OF UPHILL, not sure how we went fast), 7:31 (UPHILL), 7:39 (LONG UPHILL), THE REPRIEVE-- three miles of downhill with only .5 total of uphill-- 6:41 (pelvis hurting now), 6:53, 6:52 (yes we finished going up hill, but only for .1 miles, Kim lives on a hill). With the exception of the first 2.5 miles all the miles had hills in them!!!! They don't call it Cedar Hills for nothing. Oh and Highland and Alpine, the other towns we ran through sound equally inviting. Glad that's over. We then proceeded to the river to ice ourselves. FREEZING TEMPS. Toes Froze. 8 minutes all we could stand. I guess I can eat as much as I want today : D. Analysis of this run--- BESIDES not sleeping well due to two 13 hour shifts running around (LITERALLY) up and down between floor levels (too many babies not enough rooms so I was on Labor and Delivery with MOM/Baby patients but LD doesn't have all the exact stuff a nurse needs so I had to go between the floors over 20 times. I take the stairs because the elevator is so ridiculously slow. THEN I was pulled to the nursery to take care of all the admits and NEVER on both days GOT TO TAKE LUNCH!! STARVING!!!!) Basically I was worried about fatigue on this run and I felt it at times but was still able to keep up feeling strong at times and I feel quite good right now. I just need a nap and MORE food. I just feel like I am always working so hard at work in between tough workouts. But that is just how it has to be. No rest for those who want SUB THREE : D. JUST GONNA DO IT : D.
