I ran the Salt Lake Running Co. teaser run at Jordan River Trail. Overall a very good run. I forced myself to start at stay slow the first 15 miles (average pace 8:45) and than pushed a little the last 5 miles (average pace 7:42). I hadn't ran a long run on a flat course for a while and was not sure what to expect. I have been running my longs on very hilly courses, which has given me some added strength. At the end of this 20 miler I felt much better than anyh other 20 miler in the last year. In comparison the flat course was much easier than the hilly courses I've been doing. All in all I felt that I could have easily continued running for a few more miles. Good sign.
Total time: 2:49:45
