I ran .7 miles around the park in Draper waiting for Leslie and Odee. We then ran together for 12 or so miles. My garmin quit working part way through, so I am taking Leslie's 11.2 miles and adding a bit to it for my off road running. We headed southwest once the Draper Canal Trail started (and after Odee decided to make me do a face plant - Thanks, big butt). Once that trail ended we headed out for the last section of the Porter Rockwell Trail. On the Draper Canal Trail I ran on the edges to get some trail running time in and on this last section I ran off road and over piles of dirt to get some trail time in (probably about 5 miles or more on trails). It was pretty cold at Point of the Mountain, so we turned around at the end of the trail. Good thing we did because Odee was out of gas by the time we finished. We ran the entire way back on Porter Rockwell (except for me and Odee taking a few adventures through fields). Dropped Leslie off and fed her cookies. Headed back to the South Mountain Bridge - 1.75 miles in on the PR trail. I actually was feeling really fresh, so did some speed work and was impressed by my own speed (in all humility). It was a general uphill on the way out and I stayed between about 9:30 and 9:45 miles for the 1.75 miles. Stopped and talked to a couple of people in between. On the way back I averaged between 8:30 and 9:30 miles for the last 1.75 miles of the trail. Saw a lady on a horse walking a shetland pony and a goat. :) I ran twice around the little park where my car was. That trail is about 7/10 of a mile. Came home and put Twilight's new coat on her and we drove to a park and ran .8 miles - with some stop and sniff breaks.
