We were supposed to be at the Box Elder Invitational today but the meet got canceled. So instead I met my kids at the Riverton swimming pool for a Saturday morning long run. It was cold and windy, with a North wind so that is the way we headed first. I aways like to do the hard stuff first. I took the varsity boys with me and the other kids went shorter, like 50 minutes. We ran on the Jordan River Parkway until the trail ended. Then we turned East and went up a big dirt hill which put us on 11400 South. We headed all the way up to Alta High, did a lap on their new track and headed back the same way. We lost some guys along the way because they turned back, but I had five guys go the whole 11 miles. In the last mile I saw a runner coming toward us at a good pace, I could tell he was pretty good. As we passed, and after he called my name out, I realized it was Chad. I stopped and talked to him for a minute or so. I was surprised to see him on the other end of the valley and didn't quite catch what he was doing in Riverton, but it was good to see him. Overall it was a good and fun run with my guys. My average pace was 7:10 with some good hills and wind, it felt good! (Kayano- 27 miles) |
