What a GREAT day for a run! Except we had to wake up at 4:30AM!!! We met up with a super fast runner, Michelle and carpooled up to the canyon. At 5:30am we were off down the canyon trail and it was so nice running even though it was dark. Good thing we had a big group or it might have been a little scary. I ended doing around 12 miles in one hour 33 minutes, Merri did 18 miles and the rest of the group did 20 miles. I finished long before everyone else so I sat around for like an hour before everyone else finished. That wasn't so bad except the canyon wind was blowing and I was FREEZING! Once they got back one of the guys had a blanket in his car that I could borrow so that we could all go sit in the freezing cold river to ice our legs. It was really, really, painfully cold. I almost got out and then I started to go numb so I survived. I feel good today so it must have worked! I was totally wasted after the run so I am glad I didn't go anymore. I was supposed to do one hour and 45 minutes. All in all it was a good run and I can't wait to go again. |
