House to the top of City Creek and back. It's 21.89 miles but I had a .25 mile diversion so my total is 22.14. run time 3:37:55 9:51 ave
Last time I did this run I ran it in 3:28:04 and that was .25 miles less and it was June 2011, just before I ran a 3:23 in the Desnews marathon.
1:03 from gate to top, 49:49 from top to gate.
Last mile 8:43
After my Desnews disaster this year (3:59 and walking) I was having thoughts of bagging the Grand Slam. I told myself that if I can do this run today and survive that I would follow through with running Big Cottonwood and St. George. The run went very well and I'm all in for finishing the grand slam. I honestly thought I wouldn't be able to do the run and I'd be calling my wife to pick me up or do a lot of walking. I'm very happy this went well and feel like I'm back to being my normal bad self! I wasn't trying to go fast. This is a tough run and I knew to take it slow.
