I met Jon and Cody at Jon's house and we drove up Blacksmith Fork canyon. We started at the TOU starting line and ran down to Jon's house that is just past 21.5 on the course. The weather was nice and we had a good run. We planted some drinks along the way about every 7 miles. I thought it was a fun run, and I felt good and relaxed for not even doing close to that distance in a while. Toward the end I felt like going a little faster and asked the guys if they wanted to run the last mile in 5:40 to 5:50. They both said no, but started running faster at the same time, kind of funny! By the time we were getting to Jon's house Cody and Jon were racing each other, and seemed like they were having fun. I felt great at the end and pushed the pace for us, and I'm sure that we will all benefit from some good tempo at the end of of a long run. Jon and Cody were planning on playing Ultimate Frisbee after the run, I declined. I have a lot of stupid little projects to do today, and I didn't want to over do it with my achilles finally starting to get better. 2:29:13 (Adrenaline-271 miles) |
