Start at CJH, heading south and east, to the end of the road up Mueller Canyon.  Then turn around and head back down.

Climbs:

  • Orchard to Davis
  • Davis to 1150 E.
  • 1150 E. to end of road

Try to keep breathing.  Dad put out gatorate at 1150 E.  Tasted great. 

Overall time:  1:48  Pace for downhill portion of run was 7:02.

A.M. run, sans breakfast.  Loop around Centerville...Start at Porter, north to Chase, west to Frontage road, north to Porter, east to Island View.  Finish with a climb...those were the 2 slow miles.  Completed 6 at an average 7:45 pace. 

My left glute is sore now, normal walking not possible.

Er.  Woke up in the dark, couldn't get back to sleep, so went running.  Looped around West Bountiful Park in the damp grass, then finished with the familiar "climb" up Porter Lane to the cemetery.  Felt lousy pretty much the whole time.  Glad I went anyhow.  Average pace:  8:00.  Spent the morning reading blogs from ultras.  Feel very slow now.

Left just after 7 p.m., turns out I should have left .5 hrs earlier. Ran up to fire roads, and tripped along to Farmington Canyon. By 7:45, it was pretty dark, which was offset by the beautiful sunset over the lake. Rolled my ankle over on an invisible rock--a few expletives later I was back on my way. Getting to pavement of Farmington Canyon road was a big relief...Stopped at the Chevron to reload the water bottle, and came on home. The last few miles were a real grind. Felt sick all night afterward.

"Easy" run in the dark!  Got the girls to bed, and went out with my son as the 2-wheel support vehicle.  5 degrees cooler would have been perfect...still, very comfortable at an 8 minute pace.

 Typical loop to Farmington border and back along 400 West.  Very few cars on the road;  everyone must be home watching Sunday night football, dreading the commencement of the work-week.  Looks like I'm watching the 1954 classic "On the Waterfront" instead of the Tivo-ed NFL action.  Grape Powerade, here I come.

Drove to Phoenix this afternoon.  Got in around 10 p.m.  After 10 hours in the car it was time for a run.

Meandered aimlessly around North Phoenix in the dark, hoping no scorpions would sting me.  The lady at the Chevron thought I was nuts when I came in to grab a quick drink.  Hadn't had a run this hot in a month.
