I am glad there were lots of people out there today to help me with this 20 miler! I was happy for every conversation and bit of encouragement along the way! We started off with a large group and added more along the way! To get 20 miles we start at the church...head down to Old Bishop's Storehouse...up tree lined road...to Osbourne's and our Gatorade stop....down the mile to junk mail...up zepher...around pretty little road (decided to leave Harry's Hill out today) back down zepher...to junk mail...back up the mile to Osbourne's and another Gatorade stop.....past the parading peacocks...down the hill to the trail....up the trail to a drink at the park and up to Dripping Rock......down and around the golf course....back past tree lined road and to Osbourne's one last time for a tiny swallow of water as it was all but gone by this time.....back past tree lined road...up the switchback.....down to the church....over to our house to pick up Rui and around the neighborhood for a bit to take it to twenty! I am glad I took yesterday off. With Thursday's downhill Payson run I needed a recovery day. Plus this is a pretty high mileage week for me. I have a few others coming up that will be a bit higher than this. We will see if this year I can get at least a 3:45 at SGM. |
