10 miles turned to 12.2.  Ran up to the canal and decided to go out 5 and turn around and then decided why not turn around at 6.1 miles to make it a marathon in 24 hours?  So that's what I did.  I ran easy but the wind was fierce at times and the mud on the trail embedded in the waves of my shoes (they are wave runners afterall) and I didn't realize how much so until the end of my run.   I had to spray them off and work the dirt out of the waves with a toothpick.  Annoying.  It was like getting  that first scratch on a new car but I tried to not be too OCD about it I just wanted my shoes to regain their cushioning and that wouldn't happen with all the clay soil lodged in there.  They are good to go now except they need to dry. ANY way enjoyed the canal.  It is a nice break from the road.  I put the breaks on down  1100 north back to my house as I am still not sure what to run on Thanksgiving day. The 4 miler at Orem rec? the 5k at Fleet feet?  or the new 10k added to the 5k in Draper?  The 4 miler is flat as well as the 5k.  I don't know the route in Draper and being the first year it may be severely disorganized.  Or do I just run around here BECAUSE IT WILL BE FREEZING!!!!  19 degrees for goodness sakes!!!  41 degrees high today and tomorrow it drops drastically to 19 for two days.  YUCK!!! AP for today's 12.2 miler = 8:27.

You are starting to put in some serious mileage again--is it for the "prozac effect" or because you are full of energy? :)

its called stockpiling--- or hoarding miles because A MAJOR STORM IS COMING OUR WAY TONIGHT---one of the worst predicted in a while. It will also be 19 degrees Wed and Thursday. Holy moly!! but yes the Prozac affect should help me thru this time. I am certainly NOT NOT going to go out in this weather that would be totally un-JulieC like I am just preparing for less miles in knee deep snow. : D

Heehee hoarding miles! Only a runner would understand that concept!
