I needed a long run to hit 50 miles this week after some shorter days and spending a lot of time doing things other than running. I was supposed to meet some of the guys for a run and then I knew I would have to get more mileage after that. Alex and Bryce showed up 45 minutes late because they slept in, so I got two miles in before they came at 8:30. Then we ran out to Butterfield Canyon and back (same run as last Saturday). We had to stop for some potty breaks so it took longer, but we got a nice 10 miler in. I met Derrek and Aubree after their little 5k at the Jordan River Trail and we did 4 more miles. It was 10:30-11:00ish by now and I was getting hungry, and all we seemed to talk about was food which didn't help. I helped myself to some of the food at the end of the race before going home and gorging myself. 16 miles today, not bad. I will have to get at least two 20 milers in this month if not three, so I need to get used to long runs again.
