17 miles 2:35:55 9:10 ave City Creek Canyon run. 2 miles on the track then two more miles to the guard shack, then 5.5 miles to the top of the loop. Beautiful day today, kind of cool in some parts but the heat felt nice. I started at about 9:00 am. I did not run super hard coming down, which is the emphasis of this run. From the guard shack up 57:18 10:25 ave. I know the first three miles were 29:30 or 9:50 pace, the next two miles would have been 27:48 or 11:07 pace. wow. Back down was 44:38 8:07 ave. Last week my down hill time was 7:36. This run really kicked me hard. I was dead by the time I got back to the track. The down hill miles from the Capitol to the track were 8:24 and 7:50. I planned on running at least one more hard mile at the track but when I stopped to open the gate I decided to stop for good. |
