Rather unexpectedly, I wound up blasting up to the top of City Creek from the Capitol, then descending rather quickly back to the start. (Fast for me anyway) This run wasn't planned, it just happened. I was going to do an easy 8 to 10 miler and enjoy the early morning air. Well, I did enjoy the early morning air but my body want to aggressively churn up the canyon to the top, so I let it happen. It was nice to run in sub 90 temps and no sun. This was one of those wonderful runs that will stick in my mind for a while. I had lightening in my legs instead of lead. I love it when this happens. The last time I ran to the top of City Creek it took me 2:01:04. I was not running hard at all that day, I just wanted to chug my way to the top. Today my time was 1:46:48 8:09 ave. I was trying to run almost as hard as I could today. It felt so good. Mile times 9:11 9:09 9:23 9:15 9:16 9:48 8:52 6:57 7:08 6:30 6:39 6:36 6:35 |
