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.
