Woke up 20 minutes before the alarm (AGAIN!). Met Josse at the mouth of Provo Canyon and did 9 up and down, with a 6 mile goal marathon pace tempo down. Well, a 9 mile uphill warm up is quite a bit, and made me less motivated on the workout. My watch also ran out of charge at about 2.95 so I don't have the last three splits. The tempo started at the start of the 10 mile race we did June 14th. Here are my first three splits 1 - 6:06 2 - 6:16 (too slow for marathon goal pace, but felt like that effort so I didn't push it harder) 3 - was headed for a 5:58 mile when watch died 4-6 probably took it easier during these miles since I had no watch, just tried to keep it marathon effort and pick off the people, stopped at 5.5 or so for portapotty, then finished to the six mile point. After we finished our run (18.6 miles for me), Josse suggested we jump in the Provo river for our icing. So we grabbed some V-8 splashes (but no chocolate donut-see I'm so strong :) ) and hopped in the river. I went in up to my rib cage in the river, so that's probably worth some commando points right there. Josse laughed at me as I screamed doing it, so I probably spend all my commando points with my theatrics :( Had some Endurox when I got home then headed out with Benji to the park for his 2 mile run (21:30 so 1/2 credit) then I ran a little more to pick up our stuff.
