First off, great job all SGM runners!!! This site is so cool, and the race reports have been way helpful & motivational. I just got into the 2011 SGM runners series so it looks like I'm joining ya'll next year! (yikes, whimpering to myself as reality sets in. maybe all the reports of SGM runners running while dry heaving caused this lol.) So if they weren't handing out GU's at the SGM aid stations what did they hand out besides drinks? Bananas and Oranges at least? Now the run report. Vivian Park (Provo Canyon) to Utah Lake on the Provo River Trail. Around 15 miles running with a 1 mile cool down. This is my longest run to date. I'm going to start focusing on logging a lot more miles (weekly) than I have been, so this is the start of all that... Not too much to report on the run. Long slow miles. Lots of pretty scenery. I stashed a water bottle at mile 6 that I carried until mile 9, which was a pain but very necessary, I still felt pretty dehydrated at the end of the run. Got "chicked" x2 at mile 8 due to my slowness. :) Bill and I found out the hard way that the I-15 Provo River Trail Underpass is closed so you have to run a detour route for a mile or two. We ended up only running around 9:55 minutes/mile but it's a start. Bill and I were pretty hammered at the end of the run but I think this was a good step forward. Peace out! - Peaks out!
