I had a good run with Kerry and Kevin this afternoon. It was a first attempt at a team run for our Wasatch Back Relay team, but many couldn't make it. It was sunny and felt colder than I expected. The temperature was in the low 30's with a cold breeze at times. Kerry had a little stomach distress in the middle of the run, but he and Kevin both seemed a lot fresher than me at the end. I was beat. This was a high mileage week for me. We went a little over 13 miles and averaged 8:32/mi overall. After warming up we started out at about 8:13/mi for the next few miles. We gradually slowed as we turned north and headed uphill for a while. Kerry had stashed water and Gatorade at a couple of places, and we also stopped for a bio-break at Kohlers. I feel like we held a pretty good pace throughout the run, and we finished pretty strong, averaging 7:52/mi for last 2.2 miles. It sure felt good to stop. I enjoyed running with Kerry and Kevin, but I wish more of the team could have been there. I felt bad that we lost some with the schedule change. I look forward to more participants (and warmer weather) for the next team run. |
