Larry, Wayne and I headed up 2000 N intending to run on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail starting at the Dry Creek Canyon parking lot. After enduring the long climb, we hadn't gone far on the trail when we changed our minds and cut back across to the paved road we had climbed. The trail alternated between uneven frozen snow and mud. Neither surface was very appealing. We ended up winding through the hills of Lindon, climbing another big hill along the way. My watch showed 13 to 14 min/mi pace on the steep uphills. It's been over 4 months since I've run this far, or run 6 days in a row. I'm encouraged. My feet felt great, as did most of the rest of me except for some pain in the muscles around my right hip. My cardiovascular fitness is down from recent years, but improving. Next week the plan is to wet, lather, rinse, repeat...maybe running just a little farther or a little faster on a day or two, weather and body permitting. |
