After two 10 minute snoozes, I got up for oatmeal, and headed for the BST. I took the usual way, but went higher after Ford Canyon to the high Farmington houses. I saw a couple old guys walking up there, and they seemed as pleased to be up on a Sunday morning as me. I went to the creek, and soaked my powerade for a while while I stretched. The drink did get cooler. After turning around and stopping climbing all over the place, I got some okay pace miles in; around 7:50 pace for the last 6 miles. The first ones were 10-11, climbing 1800'. I need to quit reading articles that say you can't go too slow. This run felt too slow, but I was pretty sluggish from yesterday. |
