Ran the Big Kahuna with Dave and part of it with Justin today. We started out on the Arizona Strip just over 5000 feet elevation and did 3 different out and back sections. The first section we went down 8 miles and then climbed close to 2000 feet for the 8 miles back up. The next section was the big one with 9 miles out and back. The final section was an out and back for a total of 16 miles for this one. Dave told me that their would be a lot of climbing but I didn't realize how much we would run. We climbed close to 6000 feet today and topped out at close to 6500 feet elevation. The weather was warm for a little bit and then cooled down. The final section was pretty hot but we survived. We ran the 50 miles in 7 hours 10 minutes. Pretty jazzed about that!

We had a slight run in with a cow during the last 2 miles where he looked like he was going to charge us. We summoned the cow whisperer in us and he stayed away. That would have made for a rough end to the day.

Very pleased with the run even though some sections were a little slower than others. I feel more confident going into the Zion 50 and Squaw Peak race. This was a killer workout but I am glad we did it. Most miles I have run at one time!

Ice bath and stretched after wards. Hopefully I do not get too sore.

Planned rest day for the legs. I did yard work for 8 hours though so that counts as my workout today.

Club run this morning with the Circle and Billy the Boy. Quads were still trashed but ended up feeling good towards the end. Nice and warm this morning. Happy to get it in.

10 miles this evening at the club run. Fun to run with those guys. It has been a while. Felt pretty good considering it was about 80 degrees. It seems like it went from 40 to 80 overnight. I ate a burrito before I ran which did not sit pretty but it was manageable. Pushed the last little bit with Aaron to finish the run. Legs are finally starting to come back around.
