I woke up an hour late, so I stood up Amber for the 6am start, but met her, Ally, Jamie, and the Sojourners for the first time at 7am. It was about 26F, 20 degrees warmer than yesterday. We did a ridge run above Provo they call LA Freeway. It was a snowy trail, and our pace the trail was very slow, from 10-12 min/mile pace. It was beautiful and fun, though, full of uphills and downhills and great views of the snow covered valley. Even the roads were frequently icy and difficult to get a good pace in. After the LA Freeway loop (about 9.5) I ran back up 900 E and then up toward the temple (only made it part way up that temple hill) then back down 900 E and looped around the park to make sure I had the mileage for a modest 50 miles for the week.
ave pace 9:16!!! 2:10 and change of running, so a long time on my feet.
My groin would feel pinched every once in a while for the first mile or so, but after warming up it was only in the niggling state. Amber showed me some stretches for it before we ran, and I did those after the run. We'll see if the stretching helps or just aggravates it. I think I will call the sports therapist Josse recommended and see if I can get a diagnosis and some advice on it. Asics |
