Sleepless night (okay I got four hours from 930pm to 115am!!  Then just could not fall asleep.   Walked around a bit then got back in bed for another couple hours.  Couldn't take looking at the clock any longer so got up at 5:15am.  Met Rachelle at 615am--- actually her car was there but no Rachelle.  She wanted 20 so  I figured she arrived early and was warming up with two beforehand as I was only going 18 miles.  I jogged a few times around the parking lot waiting/looking for her.  I got in 0.6 miles nice and easy (8:53) then we were off after a brief chatting moment.  9 miles up/down Provo Canyon.  Neither of us peeked at our watches until mile 9--- the steepest up hill mile was faster than our starting miles!!!  funny it didn't feel different.  We ran two up south fork and the last mile up was 8:02 and we were talking the whole way.  Turned around without stopping.  In fact we stopped at the bottom of south fork on the way up (about mile 7 and then again at mile 11 same place)  We probably stopped about 90 seconds for the first stop and  60 seconds the second stop oh and one 10 second stop after our 4 fast miles.  Out of shape moment!!   We ran miles 13-17 fast (14-18 for Rachelle) -- We ran it on the least amount of slope of the run with all the little rollers, so we feel pretty good about it-- 6:40, 6:39, 6:43, 6:31.    AP for 18 miles = 7:41.  I think at mile 11 we were at 8:04 average so that is a big jump.  We ran sans music and we talked during our four fast-- a few grunts here and there and yelling at stupid bikers in our way ; D.  Honestly it was a relaxing run with Rachelle.   One that I needed.  We both were bugged with little ailments-- my pelvis was burning and my calves were really tight, her feet and hamstrings were burning.  We iced in the Provo River x 10 minutes.  Thanks again Rachelle!!

What a fun run. I'm positive I couldn't have kept up so it's probably good that I couldn't come, I wouldn't want to slow you two down, you both have such great fitness!!
