Long run with Lloyd this morning. We left right at 5:00 a.m. I was more than a little tired as our youngest daughter came into our room just after I'd fallen asleep to alert us to a dangerous situation that had developed involving a large moth. I pretended like I was still asleep for a few minutes, but that didn't buy me anything so I got up to investigate. I couldn't find anything, but our daughter insisted that she wasn't going to sleep in there knowing that this insect could attack at any time. So, I somewhat reluctantly agreed to sleep in her bed, but I was awake by that time and just tossed and turned for about an hour until I went downstairs to sleep on the couch. The dog, of course, wasn't too happy about being roused from his peaceful slumber, but there wasn't any reason that he shouldn't be suffering as well. In all, I probably managed three and a half or four hours of sleep. I was hoping for a nice easy start to the run, but Lloyd was feeling like we needed to run much faster than on Monday and so we took at a pretty good clip. After about a mile and half he began to slow a bit and for the next few miles we ran at a comfortable pace. After looping around the Highland Glen pond we headed to the golf course trail and to the mouth of American Fork canyon. We then ran four miles up the canyon and back and then continued on our normal ten mile loop. I pushed a pretty hard pace coming down the canyon, but the rest of the run was at a very comfortable pace. It was nice to finish this long run without being sore or overly tired. |
