I thought about trying to hook up with someone for a run today but I knew I couldn't get my bones out of bed too early after the long week that I have had so I ran on my own. I slept as long as I could and left just after 8:00am. I headed up 200 E and the Alpine hwy, jumped on the Highland hwy and went to the mouth of AF canyon. From there I went up the big hill into Cedar Hills then down the main road there. When I hit PG I went up into Manilla and caught the canyon road again, then headed south until I hit the road that turns into 300 N in AF and follow it home. The loop was almost exactly 12 miles door to door of my house. I should call this the Six city loop because I run through American Fork, Highland, Alpine, Cedar Hills, Manilla, and Pleasant Grove. The last 6 miles I averaged 6:20 pace. I saw a lot of people out running and biking, probably because it was such a beautiful morning. One group must have been some kind of club because they had about 20 runners in the group. When I got back I grabbed the VFFs and headed to the park by my church and did 5x100m strides and the grass. I got sore in my feet from doing this the other day. Hopefully I will get used to using those muscles soon. One mile. (2130- 69 miles) |
