XC practice with my kids. We met at the Dimple Dell trail head in Sandy and ran a loop on that trail. I mostly ran with Chris after the first couple of miles. We took a wrong turn and ended up running a mile further than everyone else. It hurt to run that extra mile because we were pushing the pace around 6:00-6:30 per mile on a rough trail. I was glad that we went further though because it ended up being a better workout than planned. The trail is very soft and unstable, mostly sand and wood chips. It also has a lot of holes from horse tracks, so you really have to watch yourself. There were times I was working as hard as 5:40 pace and only running 6:40 pace. I loved the run and we had a good group of kids come out. We even had a bunch of kids that had already graduated that came back to run with us this morning. 52:49 for the 7.5 mile run.
