15.5 miles in 1:56 up and down City Creek Canyon. The first half of the run is consistently, sometimes brutally, uphill. Difficult to maintain an 8 minute pace. In fact, at 8 minute pace I feel like I'm running at threshold pace - about what I feel like racing a 15k.

Coming down I was able to easily run 6:30 miles.

Sounds like the climbs I did in France on the bike - enjoyed the descents!

Rob, I just got your message - we were at team camp. If you can still get a hold of your runner, we would love to have her come out. This week we are meeting at Washington Elementary (which is north on 300 East in the town of Washington) at 7:00 each morning. Tell her to call me at 4 3 5 - 6 7 3 - 9 8 8 2 if she needs directions.
