I drove over to Logan early this morning to run a long run. Cody, Dan, Logan, and I ran with Jon's running club from work. We did a big loop from Newton around the North/West part of the Valley, through towns that I have never been itn before. The run was mostly out in the fields with alot of rolling hills. One of the guy's wife would stop every three miles or so with water and poweraid. Dan stayed back with his son Trevor (who was on a bike) and Russ Bennett after a couple of miles, and Jon, Logan, Cody, and I went ahead. We ran about 10-11 miles and picked up the pace. Even though I had my Garmin on I didn't pay much attention to how fast we were going, but I think it was mostly around 6 minute pace, give or take 15 seconds either way. I liked the run, and it was cool to run in a different place with other people, but I would probably not run out that way on my own.
When we got back to the church and park where we had started from in Newton, we were at just under 18 miles, so we added a couple more miles to make it 20. There was some food and drinks at the finish, and I guess that they were going to cook up a big breakfast, but we all had to go do other things today. Maybe next time I will stick around and bum some free breakfast off of Jon's work club. I helped Paul fill his front yard with woodchips before heading back home.
It was a good run today, eventhough I have been extremely tired this week from the move. Even with a tough start to the week I still managed to run 65 miles, so I was happy about that. Hopefully I can recover from everything and get ready to PR in the TOU half next weekend, it should be a fun race.
