Ran  UP PROVO CANYON starting at JulieE's house at about 600 north in Orem and got on the trail by 1 mile.  22 miler today so ran up South Fork to almost the VERY top (4 miles up there HELL0).   HEADWIND galore about the entire first half except up South Fork.  AP up 7:41 for 11.  AP down 6:49 (just working on my mind set for pace for the last half of SGM-- and the last half of SGM is WAY MORE DOWNHILL :D). AP overall 7:15 for 22 miles.  Got back before Mel and Julie so took one wrong turn to her house so running back the right way added on .3 miles of cooldown.   Stopped briefly six times, actually twice for over a minute the rest were brief.  I wanted real time and AP to be 7:30 or better.  So I did that.  AP with all the stops = 7:27 pace :D.    Will completely verify that when I download my garmin.  I am just going off of overall time, start time, and end time to get the REAL running time of 2:44 minutes and running time of 2:39:40.  : D.   BASED OFF OF THE MOST INTENSE FATIGUE YESTERDAY and running this well today,  SUB THREE IS IN THE BAG with the right taper and no DOUBTING.  : DDDDDD      ADDENDUM Splits for future reference-- 8:08, 7:47, 7:28, 7:34, 7:36, 7:27,7:14,7:54,7:28,7:54, 8:01, 6:38, 6:26, 6:48,6:37,6:57,6:50, 6:51, 6:52,6:56,6:53, last HOORAH up a steep .3 mile hill to run towards Julie's house-- I just didn't have any motivation to pick it up any longer and the light slowed me down.  Plus the short breaks were starting to get to me, so 7:15.  I expected Julie and Melanie at any moment but I had time to get a 0.3 mile cooldown and my gatorade/banana out of my car and stretch for a bit.   Then there they were, they ran right past me without seeing me.  But alas they did and we drove to the river and iced ourselves for over 8 minutes.  Brrrrr.

You're long runs are amazing. I'd love to do some with you, but I'm afraid I can't keep up!! Nice work today :)

Wow Julia! I know where you guys ran and it is HILLY and yes the headwinds get terrible there. Great job!

From Andrea on Sat, Aug 06, 2011 at 14:28:25 from 67.177.21.60

Great run today - you were really moving for 22 miles!

From seeaprilrun on Sat, Aug 06, 2011 at 14:32:45 from 174.70.177.86

Great pace! That must feel great to know that 6:50 pace is comfortable cruising speed! My prediction of your SGM finishing time: 2:57:42

From JulieC on Sat, Aug 06, 2011 at 14:50:42 from 67.41.190.66

AP 11 down, recalculated 6:47 : D. But APRIL it wasn't as easy as last weeks 12 at MP 6:39 pace. Tired legs I guess. I like YOUR prediction too April. That would give me cushion I hope for :D. I don't want to make it by the skin of my teeth, down to the last mile kill myself sort of situation but I will take it anyway I can get it : D.
