Started out this morning by waking up and realizing that I had set the wrong alarm! I hurried to Monarch wher I met my coaches, Tim, Chris, and Greg. We drove up Butterfield Canyon and ran down to Monarch via going on 6400 west and up around the Cove pond. we lost Tim about 3-4 miles and Chris took off up the Rose Canyon Road, but waited for us at the bathrooms. Greg fell back at this point and I realized that Greg's estimation of distance was off and we would actually be closer to 13 than 12, but we decided to go the 13 anyway. Chris was nice enough to stay with me at this point until the end. When we got to Monarch we had to do a loop around the park for the 13. Longest run since St. George last year. Knee was bugging at the first and off and on but I managed ok. 6:50 ave, with several miles around 6:30. I am now officially tired!
