Huge props to all the Ogden Marathon participants. FRB had a very good showing, up and down the field. While I spent all day yesterday finishing a bathroom and mowing lawns, my mind wandered often to the road down Monte Cristo, around Pineview, and down Ogden Canyon. Today's run began at 6:30. I headed south for a change, warming up for a mile on the road before heading straight up the hill to BST. I ran BST to Farmington canyon, noting extremely high water in all the creeks, as well as 2 never before encountered streams. The runoff situation is dire, and only going to get worse. I ran down Farmington Canyon to the pond, with water gushing over the spillway. I'm already sad for the people who will be drowning this spring...fingers crossed people will use common sense and be careful. I felt pretty good through this run. I don't have pace info, cuz I'm too lazy to upload the data from the Garmin, but I ran some pretty fast, hard miles on the singletrack, and on the road home. I got home with the luxury of 10 minutes to get cleaned up and dressed for a 9:30 meeting. I was right on time. |
