Personal:
I have a wonderful wife and son and we live in Riverton/Herriman Utah. I am a high school teacher, and head coach for cross country and track at Mountain Ridge High.
Easy 4 miles around Butterfield Park. 33:30. Went to the Doc today and he figures that I have torn my medial meniscus, Pretty discouraging! I am still going to run St. George this year and then I will have evaluate where I am at.
Ran up the trail to Rosecrest and then down Shaggy with Greg. We added on a mile around Monarch Meadows road and 13400 s. Did the 3rd mile fast (5:58) and cooled down after. 7:23 ave for the run
Greg stayed over last night and we got up early to run. The plan was to run up the canyon with me and tag team with Chris and he would run down with me. Greg and I did the first mile together at 8:54 and the 2nd in 7:55 then I lost him until the Cove and he did the 4th with me and then fell off. He has been feeling tired and sick, so I kept pluggimg along. I actually felt ok today and the knee pain was minimal most of the time. I made it up the canyon and turned around at 1:19:00 and felt decent coming down. Chris ran from the mouth down to my house and we averaged 6:35 according to his watch. My total time was 2:24:41, my best in a couple of years as far as I can tell. I felt ok most of the time and did well with drinks and salt stick capsules. Had 8 miles under 6:40 with a 5:57 last mile. Greg and Chris were great to join me and help me out today and I appreciated the company. 7:14 ave for the run.
