Left around 5 this morning and ran/walked down to Provo. The heat took a
toll on me, nearly an hour longer than my first attempt in February
2009. I was pleased though that the legs felt fine (other than tired).
35.2 miles total. I need a nap.
Night Sleep Time: 0.00

Maurine, wow.. 35 miles?
How are you doing lately? Long time no see.

Are you looking to do an ultra?

WOW! You ran this same stint but in much hotter time of the year as in 2009. You are amazing! So brave, so tough! That's the quality of an ultra marathoner!
We barely missed you on the trail. We were done as the moon set around 5. Dang, had I known you were planning an ultra, we would have loved to have your company.
I still can't believe you run that many miles solo! Did your dad greet you with bounty of post-run foods and a nice ride home to your bed?

Steve - this run was to see where my fitness was in my plans to run SGM and the Pony Express 50 miler in October. That will be my 'real' ultra.
Smooth - my dad wasn't there when I got to his house. He came home a few minutes later. He remembered I had requested a bag of ice for after my run. So, took an ice bath and shower and then he drove me home. We stopped for lunch in Draper. Had to be somewhere unobtrusive since all I had on was an old t-shirt and workout pants I borrowed from my dad and smelly running shoes.
Interesting thing on the shoes - this pair was getting pretty worn, but I found that all those miles on hot pavement yesterday had some of the remaining heel sections peeling off. They hit the garbage can today. :(

great job. that is a very impressive run. especially doing it alone - you have an incredible amount of discipline and mental fortitude.

Allie - thanks! That made my day. Especially considering the incredible run you did yesterday.
I will admit I partly did it because so many people will ask me on Monday if I ran a marathon this weekend, and I will be able to say "No, I did an ultra marathon on my own."
